The article is about gender differences in attitudes toward interactive classroom communications
systems.An interactive classroom communication system (ICCS) involves the use of remote devices that
permit allstudents in a class to respond to multiple choice questions displayed on a LCD projector. After responsesare clicked in, the results are instantly aggregated and displayed in chart form. The most representative product of ICCS is the "SMART Response PE interactive system".
The advantage of using an ICCS is that it gives feedback to both students and instructors on how well the entire class understands concepts being presented in class. Once thisfeedback is attained, teachers can alter the course of instruction accordingly or students can work out misconceptions and difficulties
through peer or class-room discussion.

According to the author's data, students using an ICCS are more engaged in concepts covered,pay
more attention in class.Furthermore, many experimental studies have been done
where ICCS-based classes score significantly higher on tests and
examinations than classes who are exposed to traditional lecture formats.
