Student Response System (SRS)

Student Response System (SRS)

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

A student response system (SRS) is a technology that allows students to respond to questions or polls during a class or presentation using personal devices or dedicated clickers. Responses are collected and displayed in real time, giving instructors immediate insight into comprehension levels and enabling on-the-spot adjustments to pacing or content. Student response systems improve engagement, reduce passive listening, and make large group instruction more interactive.

SlideLizard LIVE is a full student response system built directly into PowerPoint. Students respond to polls and quizzes from any device, you get honest anonymous feedback in real time, and every session becomes more engaging.

Podcasts

Podcasts are episodic audio (and sometimes video) programs distributed digitally for on-demand listening. As a learning format, podcasts offer an accessible, low-barrier way to engage with expert knowledge, industry trends, and educational content — often during commutes, exercise, or other activities. Educational podcasts are increasingly integrated into blended learning programs as a supplement to formal training materials, and are especially effective for thought leadership and continuous professional development.

AI Agent

An AI agent is a software system that perceives its environment, reasons over context, and autonomously takes actions to achieve a defined goal — without requiring a human to trigger each individual step. Unlike a chatbot that responds to a single prompt, an AI agent plans, executes multi-step tasks, uses tools, and adapts based on the results it observes. AI agents can operate independently or as part of larger multi-agent systems, and are increasingly embedded in enterprise software to automate complex workflows across departments.
