What is ResponseWare Web?

The ResponseWare Web application allows you to use any web browser to respond to questions posed by your instructor, and immediately transfers your answers to the instructor's computer. With ResponseWare Web, you can use your laptop or mobile device in place of a student response device (clicker). For more, see ARCHIVED: Options for student response devices.
