Why VCR in the Classroom?
DFT's VCR (Virtual Class Room): "VCR, a new instructional tool, improve classroom dynamics and provide useful information on how students learn"
VCR are instructional technologies that can be used to promote active participation, engagement, and discussion among students and to assess student learning in real-time, during class.”
VCR also enable what is called “contingent teaching” and “agile teaching”. Since VCR can be used to gauge what students do and do not understand during class, instructors can use the results of clicker questions to change the course of their lessons “on the fly.” If the results show that most students understand a concept, then the instructor moves on. If the results indicate that many students are still confused, then the teacher can spend more time on that topic via lecture, class discussion, or even another VCR question.
VCR promote active participation, engagement, and discussion among all students, even those who might not participate in typical class-wide discussions. VCR can also be assessment tools, providing students with useful and motivational feedback on their own learning, and providing instructors with information about student learning that helps them respond to immediate student learning needs.
Research on classroom response systems indicates that when used with active learning techniques such as peer instruction, VCR can improve student learning in measurable ways. Furthermore, students appreciate the anonymity of VCR systems, as well as the opportunity to test their understanding against their peers.
VCR also have a certain novelty factor that appeals to both students and teachers, at least initially. Even when the novelty wears off, there is still the sense of anticipation that builds just before the bar chart showing the students responses is revealed. For these and other reasons, many instructors who start using clickers find them such an enjoyable and effective instructional tool that they cannot imagine teaching without them
