The use of PDAs as classroom interaction system: Instructors' perspective

written by Edgar D. Corpuz, Ma. Aileen A. Corpuz, and Mary A. Moriarty

We have been implementing a web-based interaction system in which students use personal digital assistants (PDAs) to interact with their instructor in their physics/physical science lecture classes. In this paper, we discuss the instructors' implementation strategies, pedagogical approaches, and perceived effectiveness of the interactive teaching approach on students' progress, engagement, and achievement. In addition, we will document the impact of the interactive teaching approach on instructors' pedagogical orientation.
