    Plickers and Peer Instruction in a Software Design Course
    ASEE Peer
    Conducted a multi-semester case study on the use of peer instruction with Plickers and Zoom polls in a junior-level computer science course, resulting in improved student engagement and comprehension. Findings showed that low-effort, real-time feedback strategies effectively supported active learning in both in-person and remote settings.
