Electronic Voting Systems/ Live Voting

Electronic voting systems can help teachers to increase the attention span of students and encourage active student participation in class.

The teacher can transmit single or multiple choice questions to the students' terminals and present the answers directly during the course. It is possible, for example, to ask content-related questions to the students, to carry out a knowledge check, to obtain questions and live feedback from the students, to carry out evaluations or to adjust the pace of the course.

There are two different techniques for electronically and digitally supported voting systems. On the one hand, there are manufacturer-specific voting devices (hardware clickers), on the other hand there are web-based systems that require an Internet-capable device, such as a notebook or smartphone.

The voting system ARSnova is recommended for use at JLU. The system is free, internet-based, easy to use and can be used across platforms. It was developed by the Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM).
Watch this video (in german) "eFeedback in Vorlesung" on YouTube and learn how a hardware-based clicker system works.

Further information on the didactic application of voting systems can be found in the eStories on ILIAS at the Justus-Liebig-University of Gießen.

Interactive Whiteboard

An interactive whiteboard is a system that, unlike conventional black- or whiteboards, is able to digitally record the whiteboard images and make them available for further use, or transmit them directly to connected computers (network, Internet).

The Zentrum für Lehrerbildung (ZfL) at JLU manages and provides information about interactive whiteboards.
