Student Response System (SRS)

The browser-based Student Response System (SRS; currently in test operation) enables teachers to design digital and hybrid courses interactively. The different formats in SRS make it possible to query participants' knowledge, obtain anonymous feedback directly in the course, initiate discussions or evaluate teaching. Students can participate without registering by simply clicking on a link.

Advantages of SRS

  • The Student Response System at the University of Vienna can be used in digital, hybrid and face-to-face courses alike.
  • Unlike a classroom response system/clicker system, no additional devices are required.
  • The system is based on the open source software particify/ARSnova and is operated on servers at the University of Vienna.

Participating in SRS

Students can enter the survey room either via the link, the QR code or via srs.univie.ac.at and room number and participate in the surveys. Any end device connected to the internet is sufficient for this. Neither a u:account nor special software is required. The location (in the lecture hall or at home) is also irrelevant.
