Description

Ever wonder what your students are thinking in class, and whether they are learning anything? Classroom response systems, also known as “clickers,” are a useful tool for polling students in real time. Because students’ responses are anonymous, asking clicker questions can help promote students’ learning by providing them with immediate, non-intimidating feedback. Clickers also allow you to find out student views on sensitive subjects or even what students think about the day’s class. In this session, faculty who use clickers in their teaching will share their practices, and staff from instructional technology will provide information on how to use clickers conveniently in your teaching.

Co-sponsored by the FDC and the Division of Information Technology. Panelists include: Tara Carpenter, Chemistry and Biochemistry; Andy Miller, Geography and Environmental Systems; Holly Owens, Instructional Technology; and Luis Pinet-Peralta, Health Administration and Policy Program. Lunch will be provided.
