Abstract	Student response systems (SRSs) are widely used in anatomy and physiology courses as a form of active learning. While traditional SRSs (clickers) are pervasive, gamified SRSs such as Kahoot! are becoming increasingly popular. However, the impact of using both types of systems in the same course is unknown. The goal of this study was to determine the relative impact of a traditional SRS (iClickers) and a gamified SRS (Kahoot!) in an undergraduate human anatomy course. Student performance on iClicker questions and Kahoot! questions were compared to their average examination performance to determine if there were potential correlations. There were nearly identical and significant positive correlations between iClicker performance and exam performance and Kahoot! performance and exam performance. Students also perceived iClickers and Kahoot! as equally fun and effective, but reported that iClickers should be used more frequently than Kahoot!. These results suggest that iClickers and Kahoot! have positive educational impacts when used together. (As Provided).
