Hand-held Student Response Systems
An area of E-assessment that has seen extensive growth in recent years is the use of hand held student response devices (often referred to as clickers or voting devices). These allow a teacher to carry out whole group assessments, polls and surveys quickly and easily. They use either radio or infra red to communicate with a central hub that is usually attached to a computer. In many school classrooms these devices may also be used in combination with an interactive whiteboard.

“What avails it that you are a Christian, if you are not purer than the heathen, if you deny yourself no more, if you are not more religious?

—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
