" Suboptimal student performance in lab-based statistics classes prompted a change in pedagogy to increase student engagement in class through active learning.
Rather than using clickers, students learned how to use Google Forms in class to answer questions alone or in small working groups.
In-class discussion of the answers focuses on clearing up misconceptions and steering students to a higher level of understanding.
The increased interactivity, although it reduced class time to cover the material, yielded longer periods of sustained attention and a perception of improved performance among students."
