Understoodit.com is a new web-based tool for gauging students' understanding in real-time.  Instructors pay a small monthly fee; student use is free. Students use their smartphones or laptops to submit an "understood" or "confused" status which is displayed in a graph that the instructor can monitor during a lecture or conference presentation. Instructors can gauge student understanding in real-time and tailor their presentations to ensure that the material is being communicated effectively.
