iClickers at U of T

“Clickers,” or Classroom Response Systems, are a type of polling system seen on some game shows like “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” In an academic context, they have been used very successfully to engage students in large classes....

All three UofT campuses offer i-clicker (www.iclicker.com) as their centrally supported Classroom Response System. The system will work for classes as large as those in Convocation Hall and on Macs or PCs. The main benefit of selecting one vendor is that students will only be asked to purchase one unit, and it will work in all their classes that use a Classroom Response System.
