A few people here are quite interested in the clicker systems, which is intriguing to me. I know of one prof who uses them for her Human Sexuality class, which I think makes perfect sense. Others are Science and Education folks, and the classes they teach aren’t particularly large. I think clickers have become more than the instant formative feedback tool they started out as, in part because of the ability to quiz and do new, other functions. I’m eager to learn more about these capabilities – though a part of me kind of wonders why we don’t just use laptops for these functions. What does a small clicker pad get you that a laptop won’t? Is it safe to assume that most students come with laptops these days (I think most do now), and for those who don’t have laptops, would it be that cost-prohibitive to provide them? Maybe clickers appeal just for the sake of simplicity. I need to do more research here.
