Socrative is an effective collaboration tool as it facilitates learning in our own time and at our own pace so students can learn even when there isn’t a teacher in front of them. (Matthew n.d.) The integration of new technologies in the classrooms opens new possibilities for the teaching and learning process. Technologies such as student response system (Socrative) are getting popularity among teachers due to its effects on student learning performance. Research shows that Socrative increases interactivity between the teacher and the students and among classmates, which positively influences collaborative learning and engagement of students in the class which improves student learning performance.
