Hand-held electronic devices called clickers are helping college students learn physics, according to a series of research studies. Students who used the devices to answer multiple-choice questions during physics lectures earned final examination scores that were around 10 percent higher -- the equivalent of a full-letter grade -- than students who didn't.
