How many times has it happened? A professor starts his lesson enthusiastically in a class of attentive students. But as time passes on, the students’ interest wanes and more and more students fall prey to boredom. Even in the best of circumstances, a student without the confidence to speak would remain quiet and the opportunity for learning would be stunted. Most classrooms end up being a place where a teacher speaks and a student simply listens without much interaction unless initiated by the teacher. Every teacher will agree that engaging a classroom and aiding student participation while creating a conducive environment for learning is a mammoth task.

Monarch Clicker is all set to change this method of learning. Monarch Clicker is a classroom response system that promotes interaction between the instructor and students. The use of Monarch Clicker engages students to actively participate in class sessions and provides much needed feedback to the instructor. Thus, allowing the instructor to facilitate better understanding of concepts between students.

Monarch Clicker is a Student Response System that obtains immediate feedback from every student synchronously. It is a wireless trans-receiver package that includes a receiver on the professor’s end and keypads that are used by students. A combination of hardware & software facilitates interactive teaching & activities that promote growth of interest and mental faculty. Monarch Clicker gives faculties the ability to refine their instruction based on student responses. Immediate feedback, a crucial component of fruitful teaching, allows the instructor to gauge student understanding. Results from class responses can be saved and then displayed in a variety of formats or saved in databases for semester-long analysis that may inform subsequent curriculum.
