Do you have any thoughts how you would improve responsiveness with the remote group?

This is the question posed by Howard. Many of us may have the same in our minds too. Well here is a solution.

Interaction using Zing Technology
Zing is similar to Keepad, but the students have a full computer keyboard and may write paragraph length responses to questions, and the related host screen shows all the responses from all the keyboards. It is an invaluable brainstorming tool--one of the students commented on this during the session--and is a means of eliciting more complex and detailed responses from the entire class, not just the extroverts. A preliminary trial using this technology was tested and more work needs to be done.

Interaction using Keepad Technology
Two approaches are possible with Keepad. First option will be by the use of remote polling software. Students will interact with internet using specialised clicker. The option is to use response ware and a smart mobile phone. Trials are still be carried out in using response ware and mobile phone.
