  2. Classroom response systems • Votapedia (CSIRO) • UQ Poll • Clickers

  3. UniDoodle– Maynooth University, Ireland • An app, not a website! • More than multiple-choice! • Free!

  4. How does it work? • Youtube

  5. How have I used it?

  6. Semester 1, 2017 • Intermediate Mathematics equivalent (Maths B) and MATH1051 (first uni maths course) • Beginning of lecture

  7. Easy to use?

  8. The use of the UniDoodle app helped me be active in class

  9. The fact that my answers were anonymous encouraged me to submit my response in class

  10. Because of the UniDoodle app I am more certain about how I am performing in class

  11. The feedback provided by the lecturer after completing a UniDoodle question helped improve my understanding of the concepts covered.

  12. The feedback provided by the lecturer after completing a UniDoodle question helped me focus on what I should be learning in the course.

  13. Student comments Intermediate Mathematics equivalent • Use it more often! • The UniDoodleapp was super effective and made the lecture more engaging! The best part of it was the answers were anonymous hence even if your answer was wrong you didn't feel embarrassed by it. It was more of a learning opportunity. • I liked that it was anonymous. • Need more time on UniDoodleapp in class to understand common mistakes made by students despite the understanding of concepts.

  14. Student comments MATH1051 Calculus & Linear Algebra 1 • UniDoodleapp helps me to understand what I did not understand and made me practise maths. • Reduces boredom, thus improving concentration, motivation and interactivity • Wish we had used it more! Liked how interactive the learning was. • Engagement! • Instant feedback, anonymous, interactions. • It was great as I had time to think about the answer before it was revealed. • It must be difficult for a lecturer to identify common problem areas for a class. The UniDoodleapp makes it obvious where students have trouble. • Use at start of the class to revise what was learnt last lesson but not through middle of class. • I enjoyed using the UniDoodleapp and I think because it was fun to use it helped students engage and enjoy the lecture. It helped me identify whether I understood the content.

  15. Teaching evaluation comments MATH1040 Intermediate Mathematics equivalent • I also appreciate the in-lecture concept tests with UniDoodle. • The little questions at the beginning of the class recapping the previous lecture were a great way to make sure you were actually understanding the content from the previous lecture before moving onto the lecture of the day, and putting the answers up on UniDoodlemade you feel good when you saw you were right and also good when you saw you were wrong because you were never the only one. MATH1051 Calculus & Linear Algebra 1 • UniDoodlewas quite fun. I also liked the fact that all problems were done on paper on the spot. • Use of UniDoodleto engage students

  16. Pros and cons • Quick, easy • Get rich feedback • Give feedback • Anonymous • Eduroam • Anonymous • iPhones
