Is 'clicker test unblocked' a type of exam?

Clicker tests, also known as ResponseWare tests or student response systems, are quickly gaining in popularity in educational institutions around the globe. With a clicker test, instructors can test their students quickly and efficiently while ensuring accuracy of the results. But what exactly is a "clicker test unblocked" and what does it mean for exams?

A "clicker test unblocked" is a type of exam in which clickers are not prevented from being used during the test. Typically, clickers are blocked when an instructor wishes to ensure that a student does not simply copy another student's answer by looking at their clicker. To prevent this from happening, the instructor locks the clickers so that only he/she can unlock them during the exam. By unlocking them however, any student can then use the clickers to provide their answers.

This makes "clicker tests unblocked" much more accurate than traditional exams as each student has to answer individually and without assistance from others. This means that cheating will be reduced drastically and that students can focus more on actually learning during their exams rather than trying to outsmart their peers. It also means that instructors will have much better data points with which to assess students' understanding and performance on these types of exams and can provide more comprehensive feedback if needed.
