Instructional Technology has recently purchased a Personal Response System, popularly known as “clickers.” PRS is a technology now widely used in classrooms, conferences, and meetings, and even television shows, to gather interactive and immediate audience input.
We have purchased two different types of clicker receiver systems: one which plugs into a computer and allows the speaker to present questions using PowerPoint slides; and one with a handheld device that can collect the responses anywhere. We have fifty “clickers” which can be used with either receiver.
The PRS system is now available for check out from the Media Checkout Desk.
Be aware that you will need to install software before use on a computer with the computer receiver version. If you intend to use this in an e-classroom or computer lab, be sure to call the HelpDesk in advance to schedule the software install.
See the PRS Clicker Resource page for more information, instructions on use, and software download links.
