Clickers

Clickers are wireless handheld devices that allow students to respond to classroom polls, quizzes and sign attendence, regardless of class size and common student dynamics.   These simple remotes transmit individual student responses to an instructor's laptop to record and to share class feedback back to the students.

Clickers Can:

  • Increase class participation and improve attendance
  • Spark debate and discussion in class
  • Provide easy grade opportunities
  • Assess class understanding of a topic
  • Identify students who need additional assistance
  • Instructors can use clickers as a tool to gauge students' understanding
  • As a quiz/exam delivery system

  • They can integrate clicker results with BeachBoard.

Standardization:

A non-binding resolution via the Academic Senate and supported by Associated Students Inc. (ASI) encourages CSULB instructors to utilize i>clicker.

Equipment:

  • Pick up the instructor kit which includes 2 clickers, the base station/receiver, and the software, from ITSS. 
  • Trial sets of clickers are available.

New and used i>clickers are available in the CSULB Bookstore.
