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.

Autonomous Agent

An autonomous agent is an AI system that independently pursues goals, makes decisions, and executes tasks over time — without requiring continuous human direction. What distinguishes an autonomous agent from a simple automation script is its ability to reason, adapt to new information, and handle unexpected situations. Autonomous agents track progress toward a goal across multiple steps and sessions, making them suitable for complex enterprise workflows such as automated reporting, content updates, and communication management.

Closed Questions

Closed questions are questions that can be answered with a limited set of responses — most commonly a simple 'yes' or 'no', or a selection from predefined options. They are used to gather specific, factual information quickly and efficiently. In presentations and training settings, closed questions are useful for gauging audience understanding, confirming agreement, or running quick polls. While efficient, they offer little depth and should be balanced with open-ended questions when richer feedback or discussion is needed.
