Christine:
We are also using the Interwrite Response "clicker" system in a TBL course.
Unfortunately, we have found no way to give partial credit using the
clickers. So, we use the clicker in Self Paced mode for the iRATs
(individuals clicking in answers during class), and then use the IF AT form
in the team, for the tRAT, albeit we ask the Teams to also insert their
first choice into a Team Clicker (we assign a clicker to each Team). We do
not grade their first choice, however.. using the IF AT score instead. The
first choice data, however, helps in developing the "mini-lecture" in the
trouble spots, as does the iRAT data the Response system provides.
The Response systems works well in finding the trouble spots, in both the
iRAT and tRAT process... because it is immediate, giving us data during
class, without having to use scanners, plastic-sheet overlayers and TAs
scurrying to grade, etc....
But, yes, if anyone can find a way to do partial credit with the clicker
system(s), I would also like to know how!

Hi Everyone,
My boss has made the bold move of buying clickers. They are called
"interwrite response" and are being marketed by a company here called
Chieru.
Could anyone tell me how you score your RAT's when using the clickers?
I'm going to use the clickers for individual RATs and IF-ATs for the
team rats. I've been giving them partial credit for partial knowledge
up until now, but I'm not sure about how to do that using the clickers.
I'm sorry if this has already been discussed in past posts! Any advice
would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Christine
