I don't know about using clickers in this way, but I do use eInstruction
CPS clickers for my iRATS and T-RATS. In the student paced mode, I turn
off the projector but I'm still able to report to each student their
score as they finish. Then as teams finish I use the study guide report
to let them now which ones they missed. So far it works pretty well.
