the response to specific, real time questions projected
overhead to a group of students to a receiver on the
instructor's computer which transforms the data into a chart
detailing the responses. Some CRS systems work via other
mobile devices such as student cell phones, PDAs, or
laptops (Turning Technologies, 2010).
