Description

Vote-Discuss-Revote (VDR) activities use multiple-choice questions presented during lectures to help measure student understanding and facilitate deeper learning. This is based on an approach defined by Barkley & Major called Snap Shots (Barkley 2018). Throughout the lecture, the instructor pauses to present a question to apply the presented concept. The question should represent a single concept, have a good set of possible responses, and have a moderate degree of difficulty. Students respond using Top Hat without live response viewing. The question is closed, and the instructor reveals the submitted responses. Students discuss their responses in pairs, try to agree on the correct response, and describe why that response is correct. Students could resubmit responses after their discussion.
