Immediate feedback increases understanding Over two thousand years ago, Socrates realized that people understand more by answering a question, than by being told an answer. Now, science has helped to explain reasons behind this counter-intuitive idea, and shown why it works so well. But, there is a problem with Socratic teaching: it works well only in small classes. The ENJOY Audience Response System ameliorates this problem and makes Socratic teaching effective in classes of any size. Compared with traditional audience response mode (***** hands vote, card reader, carefully watching what the audience is doing and saying), this way is much more quicker, more accurate and more direct. For example, the instructor asks: do you understand? Every student presses keys to response: A, Yes; I understand it very well; B, not at all; C, not very clear. No one will be ashamed to give his/her true answer. The statistic will immediately reported or presented, and provides indicators to the instructor about the level of student understanding. The ENJOY Audience Response System will help the instructors tailor their teaching to concentrate on the concepts the students find difficult, without wasting time on concepts they have grasped. For paper quizzes, it will take a lot of trouble and time. Teachers become more aware of student' problems with the subject matter. This will improve the teaching mode, teaching efficiency, and educational research.
