Supporting clickers on campus and the faculty who use them

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.
