What are clickers?
“Clicker” is the term commonly used to refer to a Student Response System (SRS), Classroom Response System (CRS), Personal Response System (PRS), or Classroom Performance System (CPS). Such systems allow instructors to easily and quickly poll, collate, and display student responses using a handheld devices, a receiver and a computer.
For more information on clickers see this Educause page.
What kind of clickers are available at the Information Arcade?
We use the Quizdom system with ActionPoint software. Our implementation allows for the anonymous answering of simple questions; students are not required to purchase their own handheld units. This package including 32 student remotes is available for use in either Information Arcade classroom. In the near future it may also be available for other classrooms or conference rooms.
