Were the folks at UT-Austin not developing an online IF-AT system 2 years ago? Has that gone anywhere?

What I would now like is an electronic IF-AT process that can use the clickers - instant feedback, variable scoring, and able to adjust according to the actual answers that we have - rather than doing a coding sheet for the various forms.

Pros and cons? We, for the first time last spring, used the "homework" feature (i.e. students enter their RAT answers during class as an in-class homework) of the PRS Response clicker system, and it works great, in a class of 50-students. Instant grading by the computer, and a gradebook produced automatically in Excel format. Also, no Departmental/teaching budget cost: Students already have the clickers, because they are being used on campus in the larger general ed courses (like chemistry). Gary D.
