Quick fact
In a classic peer instruction study, students who discussed a concept with a peer after getting a clicker question wrong were more likely to answer correctly on a subsequent test than those who only received the correct answer from the instructor.
Why this is interesting
Imagine a lecture hall with 300 students, yet every one of them is actively thinking and talking about the material. How can a single instructor spark that kind of engagement?
