This article considers the introduction of an Audience Response System (ARS), with a first year politics class at the University of Ulster, to encourage student interactivity and participation via innovative teaching and learning technologies. Four key student-centred benefits are identified: increased student engagement, increased motivation and attendance, a progressive learning experience, and opportunities for self-reflection. Amid the concerns about students' political apathy and/or deficiencies in political literacy, the paper suggests that political science and the ARS might be natural bedfellows.
