Hi Bill,

 

Would like to voice my strong support for i>clicker.

 

Sorry, I do not have the time to participate in your "Hot Topic" team.

Subject: [ED-TECH] Hot Topic: Student Response System reevaluation and recommendation

Would you like to review the current state of student response systems and make a recommendation of which system UM should use as a standard? UM decided to standardize on i>clicker a number of years ago. Smart phone and web based systems were not available then. With the shift in technology, it is time to review the options and make a recommendation as to how to proceed.

If you would like to serve on a "Hot Topic" team to make a recommendation on this important educational technology, please let me know. I will collect names and then set up the Hot Topic team. A Hot Topic is a timely area that should be looked at as part of Academic Technology. Sometimes a Hot Topic team may learn more about the topic and just share what they have learned. In this case the Hot Topic team will create a baseline and decision framework, do research including demonstrations, and generate a recommendation. 

If you would like to be part of this process, please let m know.
