Abstract
"Students in Ann Auleb's biology of human sexuality class at San Francisco State University are often shy about joining classroom debates on sensitive topics. But more students came out of their shells this spring when Auleb introduced "clickers" into her classes. Students used the handheld gadgets, which look and work a lot like TV remote controls, to respond to classroom polls and quizzes without ever raising their hands or voices."
