A representative from i>clicker, a student response system (a.k.a. clickers), will be on campus on Tuesday, October 11. A demonstration of this system will be in Job Hall 312, at 2:15 pm. This system allows instructors to poll students in a class and record and project immediate results.
Currently, Ithaca College supports eInstruction's Interwrite PRS system, however this system will be discontinued after Spring 2012. ITS and faculty, are beginning the process of evaluating and selecting an alternative. If you use clickers or are considering using clickers, you may want to attend this demonstration, as i>clicker is one of the possible alternatives.
