Abstract

Several colleges and universities have implemented standardized audience response systems (also known as "clickers"), in some cases providing the clickers in large locked boxes for students to use during class. Other campuses have clickers on campus because faculty members require students in their classes to purchase disparate clicker systems based on personal preferences or textbook bundles. Panel members from Williams College, West Virginia University, and Purdue University will present three institutional perspectives on how clickers are used and supported on their campuses. The panel members will present different models of how clickers can be implemented and supported on campus, discuss advantages and disadvantages of the particular clicker system they have selected, and provide advice for those considering implementation of clickers for the first time.

SIGUCCS '08: Proceedings of the 36th annual ACM SIGUCCS fall conference: moving mountains, blazing trails

Williams College has been working with audience response systems or "clickers" for three years. Initial experiments with the clickers had mixed results in both performance and faculty enthusiasm for the technology. In the last two years, Williams moved ...
Students' perceptions of clickers as an instructional tool to promote active learning

The purpose of this study was to evaluate students' perceptions of clickers as an instructional tool to promote active learning in a Physical Geography undergraduate class. A convenience sample of 24 undergraduate students registered in a physical ...
Effectiveness of clickers: Effect of feedback and the timing of questions on learning
Highlights
- We tested the effectiveness of clickers and effect of feedback and question timing.
- Clicker questions with feedback improved test scores 2 days after a video lecture.
- Timing of clicker questions did not change scores 2 days after ...
Abstract
Individual response devices or “clickers” are now being used in many classrooms as an active-learning component of courses. Educators may wonder whether clickers are truly beneficial to learning. This study was designed to examine whether ...
