iClickers*
- Each student uses a "clicker", a portable, handheld device that allows students to vote by "clicking" on the appropriate button for their choice.
- Each instructor uses a receiver that collects votes sent by students' clickers. Light and portable, the receiver is powered through any computer's USB port.
- Instructors present a question and enable polling.
- Each student responds by "clicking" the appropriate button for their choice.
- A wireless signal is sent immediately from each responding clicker to the receiver.
- The receiver, through iClicker's easy-to-use software, logs and stores the data of each individual student.
- The instructor can then display voting results in a graph, to the audience.
- The results are also available for later analysis, grading, and exporting to any grade book software or course management system.
