Jay Killion, Assistant Director of Academic Computing at University of Nebraska at Omaha (UNO), shared with us the PowerPoint that he and Ted Turgeon, Instructional Designer at UNO, developed for their presentation at the EDUCAUSE Midwest Regional Conference this spring. After a comprehensive "clicker study," UNO standardized on CPS in 2007. This presentation outlines their implementation process, their challenges, and success. Title: A Strategic Approach to Implementing Clickers Abstract: This presentation will outline the process the University of Nebraska at Omaha used to implement a standardized clicker system. The goal was to ensure clickers were employed as an enduring pedagogical tool and not treated as another fad. The challenge was removing the barriers to adoption and creating communities of practice.

Well, the NETA countdown clicker is almost at zero as I type this. Dustin chalked up a late night setting up the booth, but it looks great!
We've added a great new addition to the top of our CPS Success page!
The beauty of this FAQ page is that you'll be able to help others by leaving comments on their questions.
If you follow the clicker news as doggedly as I do, you might have heard of the clicker fiasco at the University of Kansas last week. All 923 students aced the test when the clicker system (ours by the way) used to give the tests crashed, erasing scores for the entire class.
