Clickers

Anyone who is conducting instruction in Room 509 has the option to use the clicker kit to support participant response. The clickers response system is fully integrated with PowerPoint and installed on the instructor workstation. Check out the clicker kit at the Funk Library Circulation Desk with your I-card.

Each kit contains:

• 40 clickers

• a USB response card receiver that plugs into an instructor workstation and receives radio frequency signals from the individual clickers;

• a static shield bag for storing the response card receiver;

• a battery-operated "response card anywhere" device that allows the instructor to receive clicker signals without having a computer in the mix;

• a USB cable

When you borrow a clicker kit, please be very careful to return all the component parts in the kit.

Any questions regarding the Clickers contact Susan Avery in the Undergraduate Library for assistance.
