Clickers at Elon: An infographic

Posted on: October 24, 2013 | By: Dan Reis | Filed under: Instructional Technologies

Clicker infographic headerNew clickers are much easier to use than previous versions of clickers. That’s one of the takeaways from the feedback gathered during the clicker pilot last fall. What else did Elon faculty and students say about clickers? We’ve summarized the feedback into an infographic that includes quotes and statistics from faculty and students. Check out the new Clickers at Elon infographic.

Additional takeaways from the clicker pilot:

  • Both students and faculty noticed increased engagement in courses using clickers
  • Clickers were most commonly used for general class discussions
  • Students would prefer to use their mobile device as a clicker rather than purchasing a separate clicker device; however, faculty are less willing to allow mobile devices

Ordering clickers

Now is the time to order clickers from the bookstore for next semester. Just like books, clickers should be ordered before the semester begins so the bookstore can order the appropriate number. Also, the bookstore will buy-back clickers from students who purchased them this semester, resulting in used, lower-cost clickers being available at the bookstore. Questions about ordering clickers from the bookstore can be emailed to elon@bkstore.com.
