iClicker — Audience Response System

The i>clicker audience response system uses a handheld remote (clicker) to collect student responses to questions posed by the instructor. Simply put, it is a polling strategy. Student data is recorded and then displayed on a results graph via software on the instructor’s computer.

i>clicker may be used as a simple tool to provide instant, anonymous feedback or as a tool to promote active learning in the classroom and give students credit for class paricipation and/or performance.

As of  Fall 2011 i>clicker is the centrally supported audience response system on the UMass Amherst campus.
