Learning Commons:Content/Clickers
Clickers (or Student Response Systems) are wireless handheld devices that allow you to respond to classroom polls and quizzes. These remote-like gadgets transmit individual student responses to an instructor's laptop to record and share results directly back to the class. It's a great way for instructors to gauge students' understanding and/or as a quiz/exam delivery system.
