Benefits to Student


Call for Department Action

1. Issue all in-coming students a remote control unit

2. Establish a digital grid across the campus3. Require all courses to use remotes4. Administration can view student

performance across campus5. Early detection of struggling students6. Enables targeted intervention policy–“Jon

Doe needs a tutor”


Summary: A Revolution in Teaching is Happening

1. I’ll never teach a class again without using remotes

2. Remotes are a simple-flexible-powerful tool for mandating student action

3. Remotes even the playing field – everyone anonymously participates

4. Remotes allow everyone to share information (good students bring up rest of class)
