Abstract:
After evaluating and testing several classroom response systems in 2004-2005, Roanoke College adopted i>clicker for its ease of use and low cost. “Clickers” are now used in several courses across many disciplines with a growing number of faculty utilizing this technology each semester. Best of all, i>clicker requires very little support from IT beyond a 15 minute orientation session.
This session will demonstrate the i>clicker classroom response system and describe how it has been used at Roanoke College. From basic opinion polling to quizzing and participation grading, the i>clicker system is worth a look if you’re in need of an easy, affordable solution that requires very little support.
