  Classroom Response Systems

Participate during lecture with a Classroom Response System ("clickers"). Each student uses a personal remote or "clicker" to send immediate communication to the instructor. The system will gather the individual responses and show the compiled feedback for the class as a whole. Based on these results, instructors can then tailor the pace of each lecture, further explain difficult concepts if needed, and conduct in-class surveys, polls, and quizzes. Pearson offers exclusive, money-saving rebates with two leading companies, iclicker and Interwrite PRS.
