    Classroom response systems ("clickers") can turn multiple-choice questions-often seen to be as limited as assessment tools-into effective tools for engaging students during class.  When using this technology, an instructor first poses a multiple-choice question.  Each student responds using a handheld transmitter (or "clicker").  Software on the classroom computer displays the distribution of student responses.  Although many multiple-choice questions found on exams work well as clicker questions, there are several kinds of multiple-choice questions less appropriate for exams that function very well to promote learning, particularly deep learning, during class when used with clickers.
