CPS Clickers for Students
Also known as: Classroom Response Systems
Classroom Response Systems, aka clickers, provide a tool to engage students and assess knowledge. Instructors are able to ask objective and subjective questions. Questions are displayed for each student to view and respond to with a remote control device. A receiver picks up the student’s response and sends it to software loaded on a computer, providing instant feedback to instructor and student. These systems are also known as audience response systems, classroom performance systems, student response systems, or just clickers.
Features:If a course uses eInstruction student response system, students will need to purchase a clicker (ISBN: 9781881483816) from the bookstore and bring it with them to every class session.The cost of the clicker is $23.75. There is also a $10 activation fee per semester (or $21 for lifetime activation).
Your instructor will typically provide a short demonstration of how to use CPS in class. After the clicker is purchased, it must be registered your clicker online for this class through Blackboard. Instructions for the registration process can be found here.
Note: Students should purchase ONLY ONE “CLICKER” because the same unit can be used in every class that chooses to use the CPS system. Similarly, students need only pay ONE activation fee per semester, which will cover all of their courses, though activation via Blackboard is still required for each course-you will only be asked to pay a fee for the first course you activate.
