Created by Tanya Joosten (University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee) on October 13, 2009

I just was listening to the archive of EDUCAUSE Learning Initiative Web Seminar on Clickers and Peer Instruction with Douglas Duncanand realized how useful some of the information we had gathered in 05-07 may be to others.

You will find information for faculty, teaching academic staff, and instructors to help them get started.  There is also information on our grant project, including our surveys developed and our findings (also published in the May 07 ECAR).  Finally, there is information on student faqs and student support.

Students and Clickers!

helping students effectively use clickers

The student page on clickers was developed to assist campuses in developing student materials that will inform students on how clickers are used in the classroom, what to expect when participating in a class that is using clickers, and how to find support for their clickers.

Resources available to assist students in using clickers, include:

  •  
  • Student FAQ's to answer students basic questions about clickers
     
  • Student Support to provide guidance on supporting students in obtaining, registering, and using their clickers
     
  • Student Reactions to clickers based on the data gathered in our grant project
