Pilot Program for Classroom Clicker Use

In the summer of 2012, Law Computing Services purchased two sets of 25 clickers. In facilitating the sharing of these clickers among faculty we hope to provide the law faculty a reasonable opportunity to discover what pedagogical value may be added to law classes through trial use of the clickers. If regular class use is deemed desirable, students will be required to purchase a personal clicker. We are gathering information on possible alternative use of smart devices to act as a clicker device.

The UGA's Center for Teaching and Learning selected and supports the Turning Technologies Response Card NXT clicker for campuswide use. CTL's office (542-1582) also loans sets of either 42 or 16 clickers as availability will allow.

This same model clicker has been in use on campus since the fall of 2010. At Tate Center Bookstore, new clickers go for $50, used for $40.
