Abstract: This study examines the impact of integrating mobile technology with audience response systems (ARS) on students’ performance and experience. By comparing students in classes using traditional single-purpose ARS (Clicker) with students in classes using mobile technology-based ARS (Mobile ARS), we find that the latter earned, on average, 3.6 percent more on their final examinations and reported a more positive experience in three different financial accounting courses. Our findings suggest that the benefits of ARS technology documented by prior studies not only survived but were also strengthened by combining ARS technology and mobile technology. Leveraging the two technologies within the classroom environment appears to provide an advantageous platform that improves students’ grade performance and classroom experience.
