Abstract
The use of electronic response systems in classrooms can be effective, especially when coupled with a method allowing a question to be broken into manageable interactive questions. This paper develops the use of electronic response systems as a part of leading assessment delivery and data collection solutions in a blended learning environment. The technology that is the subject of this research consists of thirty-button response cards that transmit student responses to a receiver connected to the instructor laptop. The electronic response systems are proven to enhance the effective instructions, increase retentions, engage participants, and immediately assess understanding.

The same study reported little improvement in exam scores. These results were supported by a study in an introductory psychology class ( n 1290 ) [8], where the findings revealed a small positive effect on the exam scores
Summary
According to Guthrie et al [5], students are mainly active learners. Encouraging active learning has long been considered as one of the main principles for good practice in higher education [2], [9], and [10]. A technology that offers one approach to implement active learning is clickers, or more formally Student Response Systems (SRS). Clickers are response-pads that allow students to select anonymously an answer to multiple-choice, true/false, and yes/no questions displayed by the lecturer. The same study reported little improvement in exam scores. In a study with 1221 students in chemistry courses, Hall et al [6] confirmed the improved students’ engagement and increased learning. Unlike above studies, Hall et al reported a significant improvement in exam scores with respect to previous years. In this study more experienced technique to mathematical and programming questions is applied This technique enables questions to be broken down into simple multiple-choice, true/false or yes/no questions. The depended variables will be the student in-class engagement, their perception about the technology, and their course grades
