Student Response Systems (SRS), often referred to as "clicker", allow instructors to pose questions during class and instantaneously obtain learners' responses that are sent via handheld devices. It is intergrated with Microsoft application to encourage interactive learning. This study aims to investigate the effects of different Mouse Mischeief (MM) interaction modes on students' achievement on the learning of English Literature for posttest scores. Three interaction modes were examined as a focus of study;(i) MM Individual mode, (ii) MM Team mode and (iii) Classroom mode as the control group.A qusi-experimental design involving pretest-posttest was used to compare the effects of the three interactions modes on English Literature posttest scores,scores for higher order thinking (HOT) questions and lower order thinking questions (LOT) as objectives of the study. The posttest scores were analysed using one-way analysis of covariance (ANCOVA).The findings of this study show that MM team mode has significant positive effects on English Literature posttest scores and posttest scores for HOT questions.However, there is no significant didfference between the three interaction modes for posttest scores of LOT questions.
