Abstract:
|
Professors from a diverse group of universities and disciplines will discuss the use of clickers in their applied statistics courses and what their experiences, both positive and not-so-positive, with clickers have been. Discussion will cover many of the choices in implementing a clicker system, including what systems are available, the nature and number of clicker questions and issues in grading. By the end of this session, attendees should have the opportunity to experience a clicker system and have a better idea of the benefits and limitations of this technology for teaching statistics.
