Description This academic year we have introduced a pilot project of integrating online voting into mathematics courses in order to increase students’ involvement in the educational process. The paper introduces basic concepts of classroom voting and summarizes our experience with the new interactive technology. The study results of interactively taught students were compared to those with traditional lessons. We found that the success rate was slightly better in the pilot group. We also evaluated students’ feedback from the course opinion poll to find out whether students consider interactive teaching interesting and beneficial. It proved that the students' perceptions of the teaching were significantly better in the seminary group using classroom voting.
