What is Plickers?
Plickers, the student response system app, is a formative assessment tool that allows teachers to collect on-the-spot formative assessment data without the need for student devices.
It’s a free, interactive formative assessment tool that uses printable “paper clickers” instead of clicker devices. Each student is assigned a unique Plickers card that has a black and white image similar to a QR code. The letters A, B, C, and D are written in small print around the edge of the image, with one letter on each side of the card.
During the lesson, the teacher displays a multiple-choice or true-false question. Then students hold up their cards and rotate them to indicate which answer they think is correct. The teacher scans all of the response cards at once, using the Plickers app (Apple or Google) installed on a mobile device to get instant feedback. He or she can instantly see the student responses and assessment data for that question including who has the correct answer and who does not.
How Does this Student Response System App Work?
Getting Started
For using this interesting student response system app, check out the following guide:
Download the Plickers App
Download this formative assessment tool from or from App Store.
Answering Prompts
Students can hold up their personal cards (which resemble QR codes) in order to respond to teacher prompts. The direction that students hold the card determines the answer choice which will be recorded. There are also multiple variations on response cards that can be printed here, along with laminated versions that can be purchased from Amazon.

How to Download the App?
The app is free to download from Google’s Play Store or Apple’s App Store depending on your device. Simply search ‘Virtuali-Tee’ to find the app and click ‘install’.
Please ensure your device’s compatibility by testing it here. When you test the app on the demo page you may be prompted for an in-app purchase – just ignore this prompt as when you receive and scan your AR t-shirt it will automatically unlock this.

Put on your Virtuali-Tee, get a student to wear it or even pop on a skeleton. Open the app and point your device’s camera at it. For best results stand about 3 feet away from the AR t-shirt. If the camera doesn’t detect and scan it, try bringing your device closer and then slowly pulling it away.
Once the app has scanned the Virtuali-Tee, tap anywhere on the screen to peel back the layers of the body and interact with the different systems and organs by clicking on the hotspots.
The app works in selfie mode, so a student wearing the t-shirt can use the front camera to explore the internal systems on themselves. Activate this by clicking on the switch camera icon in the top right corner.
If you have a VR headset you can also activate VR mode by tapping on the VR goggles in the top right corner. The app is compatible with most cardboard headsets as long as they allow camera access. In VR mode hover the cursor over the hotspots in order to interact with the systems.
