Clicker Usage in Math/Stat Lectures: An Orientation

In the past few years, Audience Response Systems (ARS), or "clickers", have become a common pedagogical tool employed by various faculty members at the University of Calgary as a means to engage student participation and collect immediate feedback pertaining to learning outcomes. An interactive demonstration of how `clickers' by eInstruction are incorporated into our lectures will be given using two different presentation platforms. Peter LaRiviere from eInstruction will also attend to address general questions arising about the eInstruction system/software inquiries such as (i) how do I get started? (ii) can students use one `clicker' for many concurrent classes? (iii) can students re-use `clickers'?, etc.
