San Diego State To Roll Out New Wave of Classroom Clickers

San Diego State University is shifting to a new classroom response system five years after standardizing on its old one. This time it will be i>clicker2 from Macmillan’s i>clicker division. The rollout is planned for fall 2011. A short list of evaluation finalists also included Poll Everywhere, which uses the student’s mobile phone or laptop computer in place of a clicker device, and Turning Technologies’ ResponseCard NXT, which is also a dedicated response device. Even as classes are using i>clicker products, however, PollEverywhere will be piloted separately by six to nine instructors over the next year as well, according to Mark Laumakis, who splits his time between two roles, as a faculty member in the Department of Psychology and as faculty-in-residence with the university’s Instructional Technology Services department.
