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.
