A Student Response System Without the Clickers
Ask the room a question and see every answer as it arrives. Students join from phones, tablets or laptops with a code or QR — no hardware, no accounts to hand out at the door — and responses are not limited to A, B, C or D.
How does the student response system work in class?
Display a join code on the board and students enter it on any phone, tablet or laptop. The live dashboard fills as answers arrive. The teacher controls pacing, reveals results when ready, and can pause the session the moment a misconception spreads through the room.

- Join by code or QR on any device — no clicker hardware or app install
- Responses in extended text, code, math or images, not just multiple choice
- AI grades open responses live so the dashboard shows understanding, not just participation
- Live presence indicators show who has joined and who is still answering
- Anonymous-feeling team modes so quieter students still contribute
How is this better than a show of hands or clickers?
Traditional response systems only tell you how many students picked each option. Because Saval grades open answers against your rubric, you also see why students are wrong — the part that actually changes what you teach in the next ten minutes.
Does it work in large lecture theatres and online classes?
Yes. The same session scales from a small seminar group to a large cohort, and works for remote or hybrid delivery because students need only a browser and the join code. No clicker hardware, app install or account handout is required.
What happens to the data after the lesson?
Every live session is stored: per-student and per-question results, time on task, and a performance matrix across topics. A quick in-class poll therefore becomes a documented formative assessment record you can revisit, export or use for moderation.
