Chrisopher Keller, 2006 ▬ On the use of clickers at CU.
(Links 1,2,3) The purpose of this report is to summarize the main results from a study to evaluate faculty practices and student attitudes regarding clickers during the Spring 2007 semester at the University of Colorado at Boulder (commonly referred to as “CU”). Adoption of clickers by faculty has spread campus-wide at CU to presently 19 departments, 80 courses, and over 10,000 students. We study common pedagogical practices among faculty and attitudes and beliefs among student clicker-users across disciplines on campus. Data were collected via online surveys given to both faculty and students in the Spring 2007 semester. Additionally, we report on correlations between student perceptions of clicker use and the ways in which this educational tool is used by faculty. Areas where further work is needed is indicated appropriately.
