ofunderstanding before in-class lectures. The intention is that class time is spent on highercognitive interactive activities, focusing on material that most students „don‟t get‟, rather thanon material that students can understand by themselves. Prior to class: 1. Students undertake readings, research and/or development activity. Page 21.48.6 2. Students answer and provide their reasoning for a series of online multiple-choice questions facilitated via SPARKPLUS (Figure 4). 3. a) students can log on and use the SPARKPLUS summary screens showing histograms and confidential comments submitted for each answer choice (A, B C etc) to
