This chapter presents an outline of how "clickers" or e-Remotes were integrated in a lecture class as a means to encourage small group discussions, student self-assessment, and instructor formative assessment. An additional formative probe, offering students credit for contacting the instructor prior to class with questions over homework was also presented. The latter would work well in a flipped secondary class as well. As for clickers - if unavailable there are apps for that!
