Calling all instructors using clickers in Fall 2010
Wednesday, May 12, 2010
Are you thinking about using clickers in your Fall 2010 courses? One item of note to consider as you make this decision is that the clickers do not work with Moodle yet, so you will need to continue to use KV for your courses using clickers. (The clickers should be fully integrated with Moodle by Fall 2011.)
If you are going to use clickers, please send an email to Krista Spahr (click the Posted by link above) with the following information by June 1, 2010.
- In which courses/sections will you be using clickers?
- In which rooms will you be using clickers?
- How many students do you expect will need clickers?
Once you have submitted your request(s), Teaching & Learning and the Campus Store will use the provided information to:
- order clickers and enrollment codes from eInstruction,
- include clickers as an item on the textbooks/materials listing(s) for your course(s), and
- equip the appropriate classrooms with the CPS software and receivers.
Please note: For any requests made after August 1, 2010, we cannot guarantee that clickers (w/ enrollment codes) will be available for your students to purchase before classes begin.
If you have any questions, please contact Krista Spahr (x6-6819).
