| Abstract: | ABSTRACT It can be a struggle to generate active student participation in library instruction. It is often the first and only time that the instructor will meet with the students, students have a wide range of knowledge and experience, and the instruction is often given in a location outside of the students' familiar classroom. A student response system, or clicker system, can be a tool that helps keep students engaged and actively participating. It can also provide the means for a library instructor to dynamically adjust a class as it progresses, tailoring it for the needs of those particular students. |
