Clickers @ ASU

Student Response Systems are growing in popularity in the American classroom.   By clicking on the links below you will be directed to the ASU Help Center where you can view a detailed article related to what clickers are, what their benefits are in the classroom and what system(s) are currently being used at Arizona State University.
 

This year ASU is transitioning to a new classroom clicker system, TurningPoint. TurningPoint, already in use at the West campus, is far more stable and reliable than the CPS system and will soon release software allowing a mobile phone or computing device to be used as a clicker. We expect to have more than 100 classrooms outfitted with TurningPoint clicker systems within a year’s time and full conversion to TurningPoint by fall 2010. Students can purchase TurningPoint clickers through the ASU Bookstore. The University Technology Office is also coordinating information sessions and TurningPoint demonstrations for faculty. 

 

More information on the clicker conversion is available in the attached document and at clickers.asu.edu.

 

Thank you for your assistance in transitioning to the new system. We expect it will make teaching with clickers much easier for both faculty and students.
