EVS: verdict
• Can be achieved thru flashcard, hands etc. BUT
• Anonymous – response is independent• Not knowing other students responses helps
in the discussion• Immediate & accurate• Public – involves all students (good for large
classes)

Current limitations• 64 handsets max.
– but can use in groups• Lose 5 – 10 minutes lecture time
– format may change anyway• Storing results is difficult
– though not impossible• Totally anonymous
– for now…• Some questions may not work
– Yes/no suits class wide better than MCQ

The Future• Technology will change, the concepts
wont• Handsets = mobile phone• All students issued w/ handset• Responses fed into StudyNet• When – not prepared to say!
