.... | The University-Supported ClickerLast year, the Instructional Technology Standing Committee re-evaluated clicker usage on campus and after hearing feedback from faculty that had demoed different clicker brands, the committee voted to support the Turning Technologies ResponseCard NXT Clicker (ISBN: 9781934931455) as the new campus standard. |
The first thing faculty will need to do is to contact the FTDC at 915-7918 to request a free RF receiver kit.
