Electronic Voting Systems and interactive lectures: entrance lobby

Main EVS website index page

This is the entrance point for my web pages on Electronic Voting Systems (EVS) for use in lectures; or more generally for interactive lectures (ILIG = Interactive Lecture Interest Group); or more specifically for the PRS equipment which we mainly use, and for local Glasgow University arrangements.

If you want a quick look at what it's all about, to see if it might interest you, then try

• Why use EVS? -- the very short answer
• A short argument on why be interactive
• A short introduction to EVS
• EVS: a catalyst for lecture reform by Alistair Bruce.
• Long answer (a whole paper) on pedagogic potential

To see all the things available on this site you should read over the main website index page; or print off all the pages to study: they are available as a single web page ready for printing: compilation on designing lectures (that use an EVS) and a comprehensive compilation.

Some of the most popular parts are:

• How to present using EVS: look at the set of pages, from getting started and then go on to those on more detailed design of questions and sessions
• People: A list of other people in the UK using EVS
• Equipment vendors: If you are thinking of buying equipment: a list of vendors.
• Papers on EVS: If you need to convince either yourself or others (in a funding application), then the list of papers on EVS written in the UK may prove helpful.
• Video: We also have an online video showing a whole lecture using EVS in a large class, with interviews of students and the lecturer appended. Note however that this is NOT an introduction like a TV documentary to attract casual viewers too unmotivated to read: it is only meant to supplement the written pages by showing things like setting up the equipment, and what students actually say.
• History: A history of some predecessor technologies
