I tried to introduce i>clicker to this campus which many major research campuses are using, I was told that Turning Point was the contracted device for this campus and I believe it is used SUNY-wide. There are many challenges with Turning Point as you mentioned. Particularly with mathematics since it does not allow the use of decimals. -AJC

Sorry, no to your answer Jennifer, but if anyone else has, I'd love to learn how to use them.

Subject: Use of Clickers for exams


Dear Colleagues,

As a new faculty member, I am interested to know if any of you have or have considered using classroom response units (clickers) during exams in large courses.  I am planning to use them in lieu of scantrons in my non-majors course and would like to hear your opinions and advice on the subject.
(I have already gone through the growing pains of learning the Turning Tech system and that the classroom receivers need to be updated to use the newest NXT clickers.)

Thank you.
