We use the CPS clicker system - students can go at their own pace. One problem is the distribution and collection of the papers - quite time consuming. Trying to think of an electronic way to distribute (and not permit copying, downloading of IRAT/GRATs) Regarding Applications - we tried the email process - but it was erratic - once it took 2 days before the group's answer showed up. Perhaps something like google docs or skydrive (MS docs) might work. Right now we use whiteboards for each group (and papers). What I would really like is some type of web-based IF-AT forms - that way we would always have a new/unique "scratch" form (customized to exam, rather than having to create code sheets) and make it electronically score the responses too. That would be a great addition to the process.

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. > >Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 08:30:10 -0400 >From: Karen Milligan <[log in to unmask]> >Subject: Re: Web Software for Reporting Team Results? > >An idea- > >Use of a SMRT board reporting system otherwise known as "clickers".
