Abstract	Technology advances have changed the way faculty teach and students learn. The classroom has evolved from students listening to their faculty lecture to convey their knowledge to students utilizing interactive electronic resources that can take students worldwide in milliseconds. Tools in the classroom have also allowed faculty to quiz students with immediate feedback so that the faculty can adjust their lessons on the spot and cover concepts that students are struggling with understanding. For example, Audience Response Systems (ARS) are a form of quizzing tool that allows the faculty to engage more with students and cover material that students struggle with immediately. This research evaluated the student and alums confidence and knowledge gained between a traditional lecture class and a class that used an ARS as a lecture replacement in a computer science program at a community college. Results indicate that using an ARS affects computer science students, increasing their engagement and confidence. Four themes that appeared from the research included Knowledge, Engagement, Balance, and Support. Students felt that adding an ARS to their classes helped increase the knowledge gained in the course. They also thought that using an ARS increased their engagement in their classes and with the faculty and fellow students. Participants also believed that there was support for them with an increased ability to ask questions of their faculty and other students. Finally, participants believed that using an ARS was one part of a balanced course when paired with other modalities such as lectures and hands-on activities. The research revealed that using an ARS in classes increased students' confidence and knowledge, but it was only one part of the process. The conclusion of the research suggests that using an ARS should be incorporated with other modalities to enrich the students' experience and boost engagement, thus increasing knowledge.
