Clickers (Classroom Performance System)
 |
The Classroom Performance System (CPS) by eInstruction is a wireless response system. With this powerful system you can ask multiple choice and numeric questions, measure comprehension, gather opinions, administer tests and quizzes and even take attendance. Calvin College has two models for the clickers. |
Higher Education Model (CPSPulse/clickers)
Instructors will need to:
- Sumbit a request to the Campus Store to have clickers available for their students to purchase next semester. (Due date for textbook adoptions also apply to clicker requests.)
- Contact the HelpDesk (x6-8555) to request CPS software/hardware be installed in the appropriate classroom(s).
- Register course(s) using CPSonline.
- Provide students with a class key so they are able to register their Pulses in a course. (The class key is provided when you register your course(s) using CPSonline.)
Students will need to:
- Purchase a CPSPulse (clicker) from the Campus Store.
- Purchase an enrollment code from the CPSOnline when you register your CPSPulse (clicker) in your course(s).
- Register your Pulse in the appropriate courses. (Note: The instructor will need to provide the students with a key before they are able to register their Pulse in a course.)

A bagged classroom set has a receiver and 30 handheld Gen2 RF remotes (clickers). These sets must be reserved in advance, and picked up and dropped off at CIT.
