Resumen

The combination of hand-held IR transmitters and ConcepTests in a thermodynamics class provides a method for enhancing learning, motivating students, and increasing their participation. Inexpensive equipment is available commercially that allows for instant feedback from students and instant grading. Examples of ConcepTests for a junior-level thermodynamics class are presented.
