Campuswide Classroom Response Clicker System Chosen
Working together and based on feedback from participating faculty, IT Services and the Teaching and Faculty Support Center selected the Turning Technologies classroom response as the university clicker standard. The new system will be put in place during the summer of 2011.
As students prepare for the fall 2011 semester, clickers will be included on the required course supply list at the University Bookstore. Students may trade in old clickers for a discount on the purchase of a new clicker.
Faculty training for the new clicker system will be available during the spring semester of 2011. Times and locations for training will be announced and posted online as workshops are scheduled.
The move to a consolidated system was initiated to ease the financial burden on students and improve evaluation and analysis for faculty. Faculty were invited during summer and fall 2010 to compare three top-ranked classroom response clicker systems.
