The benefits of choosing a campus clicker standard

As colleges and universities continue to look for ways to improve student retention and encourage deeper learning, many institutions are turning to classroom response systems as a proven method to stimulate conversation, measure student attitudes and drive active learning in the classroom. But with tighter budgets and shifting IT department priorities, clicker standardization has become a lower priority on the to-do list. This web seminar will offer real-world faculty and administrator perspective on the benefits of clicker standardization, and insight into the implementation and growth of clicker technology institutionally.

Topics will include:

• Considerations, benefits and an implementation process for adopting a classroom response system institutionally
• Strategies for communicating the value of clickers in the classroom to faculty
• How to enhance the pedagogical impact of traditional, open and distance learning environments with clickers
• Best practices for implementing clickers in the classroom
