Making the Connection: Using Mobile Devices and PollEverywhere for Experiential Learning for Adult Students
Moore, Robert L.; Blackmon, Stephanie J.; Markham, James
Journal of Interactive Learning Research, v29 n3 p397-421 Oct 2018
Technology integration has significantly influenced the way students access and retain knowledge gained in the classroom (Ahmed, 2016). This is particularly relevant in classrooms for adult learners who engage in continuing education. This paper used a descriptive case study (Yin, 2014) to share how an instructor utilized mobile learning with a web-based polling tool, PollEverywhere, to gamify experiential learning for adult students in various roles within a southeastern state's court administration--prosecutors, defense lawyers, magistrates, and jail administrators--and improve students' engagement in the course and connection to course material.
