Using the New Student Response System in Technology Classrooms

Time: 3:20 - 4:05
Location: Room 104
Presenters: Dave Test, Information Technology Specialist

We will discuss the formal adoption of a single, standardized student response system, and detail its rollout at University Park. Dave Test will give a brief history of student response systems at University Park, and review the faculty and student surveys that were conducted during the testing period. We will also demo the chosen student response system, giving the audience a chance to see the software and interact with it. Student response pads (clickers) will be distributed to the audience so they can participate in the demo.
