 PDAs and laptops, which can provide more comprehensive data than single-digit multiple-choice responses provided by current

 any teaching environment. The BQ development group is located at Erskine College.

 unchanged. The LT3 will be enabled to search the LON-CAPA CT resource pool and to render a static or randomized version into the LT3 environment. This will enable the LT3 as
 well as the LON-CAPA community to access the most recent version of each ConceptTest and allows them to track any changes which have been made by the individual authors. This
 integration step will enable us to carry out the proposed study with a minimum of logistical or technological challenges caused by the involvement of three different
