Over the past year, faculty from many disciplines have been piloting new clickers (aka classroom response systems). They used clickers to supercharge classroom discussions, to check student understanding, to gather student opinions, for peer evaluation and to replace Scantrons.
If you are curious about these new clickers, stop by Teaching and Learning Technologies this week for a hands on demo. TLT staff will be available to talk about your ideas and to demonstrate the new, easier to use, clickers. Also, below are new resources we’ve created with stories of Elon faculty using clickers, links to academic research, details on how to get started and information on our soon-to-end clicker pilot.
