In this second edition of our monthly #5MinuteReflection, we will be looking at why and how you can make sessions interactive. #1MinuteCPD has covered a range of tools that enable interactive sessions and we thought it would be useful to pull these together into one handy article!
An interactive session is one where the students actively participate. Before we look at the tools you can use to help make this happen, let us take a minute to think about the benefits of this approach. Research has shown that student response systems offer good opportunities for feedback and are a great way to engage students in sessions (Voelkel & Bennett, 2014). The paper also highlights that the systems are easy to use, both for students and instructors, which is certainly something we would agree with.
