Subject: [POD] Story about clickers in BusinessWeek Online
In his POD post of 10 May 2005 13:15:55-0500 titled "Story about
clickers in BusinessWeek Online" , Ronald Ayers (2005) wrote:
"The May 7 BusinessWeek Online has an article on classroom response
systems. What's nice about the article is that it mentions the need for
faculty using clickers to adapt their course design and pedagogy to make
the most effective use of the technology. The article can be found at
<http://www.businessweek.com/ap/tech/D89UDJI00.htm?campaign_id=3Dapn_tec

The BusinessWeek report mentions "clicker" use in classes in "Ethics and
Public Policy" by Ross Cheit of Brown, in Chemistry by Stephen Bradford
of the Univ. of Southern California, and in Physics by Eric Mazur of
Harvard [see Crouch & Mazur (2003)].
As Ayers indicates, Business Week's "clickers" are also know as
"Classroom Response Systems" (CRS). Other popular designations are
"Classroom Communication Systems" (CCS) and "Student Response Systems"
(SRS).
In a post [Hake (2004a)] titled "Classroom Communication Systems," I
made five points regarding the use of CCS and listed 62 references to
the relevant literature. That was followed by a post "Classroom
Communication Systems - Additional References" [Hake (2004b)] that
contained 11 more CCS reference given by David Meltzer in a post to
PhysLrnR [Meltzer (2004)].
