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.
