Obtaining interaction and engagement in large group teaching can be challenging, in particular in STEM subjects where it is essential to be able to efficiently present symbols, equations and formulae. Pingo is a free, web-based system that provides an excellent way of introducing interaction in large group teaching, as there are no restrictions on the number of participants. It is particularly useful in Mathematics-based subjects as it is TeX compatible. Such interaction also provides feedback to students and lecturers and it is a straightforward, but creative way to enhance student engagement. The author has tried and tested Pingo weekly in Mathematics and Statistics modules. This article provides all the information and resources required to start using Pingo along with some reflections on its use in the Mathematics Department at Swansea University.

Teaching Problem

This chapter discusses an innovative use of an audience response system (ARS) to address the vexed learning and teaching problem of how to manage effective student engagement in large group academic Orientation sessions. Having particular regard to the research that informs transition practice to enhance the first-year experience, the chapter addresses the pedagogical basis for the decision to adopt the ARS technology as integral to the learning design deployed. The Orientation exemplar discussed is drawn from practice in a law faculty; however, the general approach illustrated is capable of replication regardless of discipline or institution. In the hope that this case study might be transferred to other applications, the enactment of the learning design involving the ARS is described, and an analysis of the evaluation conducted is also presented.
