I am a believer in this as a holistic approach, but unsure that it would be an easy/meaningful supplement to a typical lecture course.

Constantly testing and recalling information during a lecture sounds like a fantastic way to learn. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/21/science/21memory.html?_r=1 Thu, 23 Aug 2012 10:17:00 -0400 https://nowcomment.com/documents/1844?scroll_to=2740 https://nowcomment.com/documents/1844?scroll_to=2740 I'm torn on the importance of anonymity. On the one hand, I think it definitely makes students more likely to give feedback on what they do and don't understand. On the other hand, I think it reinforces the sense that there's something wrong with asking a question or not understanding material. In some cases I think a professor who respectfully says "Bill and Sarah had some issues with the density problems" is a best case scenario, as long as students understand the class process ahead of time.
