Implementing a learner response system in one university
Abstract
Although students expect to be engaged in lectures, it has been acknowledged that this can be
challenging at universities across the world. When students lack engagement, attendance at
lectures can be affected and students can become disengaged from the course. For these reasons
and more it was decided by academics who lecture at one Australian university to implement a
learner response system (LRS) for their large first year Education cohort. This paper investigates
the literature and focuses on this implementation as well as initial data obtained by a group of first
year students.
