Abstract

This paper investigated the relationships between students’ perceptions toward the features (i.e., feedback, engagement, usability, and satisfaction) of two instant response systems (IRS) and their learning performance in the synchronous sessions of an online course. A survey was conducted for assessing how IRS features are related to learning performance. Two different IRS tools, “Kahoot” and “mQlicker,” were used to conduct meaningful interactive learning activities in the synchronous sessions of an online course. Collected data were analyzed using Pearson Correlation analysis, and it was found that students’ feedback, usability and satisfaction are significantly correlated to learning performance. On the other hand, engagement did not show any significant correlation to learning performance. Discussion and implications of adopting IRS tools are also presented.
