Plickers is a fun and helpful educational assessment application for both teachers and students. Developed for mobile phones and tablets, this app helps teachers to easily and instantly assess the comprehension of students as well as do impromptu polls by simply scanning the plicker cards—a paper clicker—given to each student. It also allows you to automatically save all the data collected. Moreover, it allows students to engage and participate in the class discussion without feeling conscious.

Get real-time evaluation

The plicker cards are a vital tool to assess your student’s learning. These can either be bought online or downloaded and printed for free. These cards are convenient to handle, and it comes in different sizes with larger fonts that can easily be seen even in the large classrooms or auditoriums. Without these, the app won’t be any of use at all.

With the use of the plicker cards, teachers can have immediate feedback regarding the performance of every student. It allows the educator to see if all or most of the students understand the lesson at hand. If the app’s evaluation shows that most of the students didn’t clearly get the lesson, then the teacher could conduct add more instructions to further explain the lecture.

The data collected from students can be viewed in two ways. Student view mode displays the students’ card information, such as name. It also shows if a certain student answered or not. Meanwhile, the graph view mode presents how the students answered the educators’ questions.

An innovative way to educate

Plickers is a true revolution in this generation’s system of education.
