Audience Response System (Clickers)

1. Contact Instructional Technology & New Media
2. UMBC Bookstore
3.

The Instructional Technology and New Media group supports the pedogogical use of the tool and the integration into the Blackboard course management system. Contact Karin Readel at ext. 5-3885 or readel@umbc.edufor information about clicker training sessions. Once you have attended a training session, you will be issued a "faculty kit" consisting of one clicker, and one USB receiver.

The Classroom Technologies group (AV Services) assists faculty with ensuring that the receivers and software are installed and working properly in classrooms and lecture halls. Faculty may contact Dave Souder at ext. 5-2619 or souder@umbc.edu for more information.

If you are going to use clickers in your classroom, it is important that you contact the bookstore and let them know so that they will have an adequate supply of clickers for all courses.

Students can purchase the clickers in the UMBC bookstore or directly through the Turning Technologies website. The school code is UMBC.

NOTE: Students can sell the clickers back to the bookstore at the end-of-term buy back if they are through using them.

Students need to register their clickers in Blackboard only once (Bb course -> Tools -> TurningPoint Registration Tool). The registration in Bb is good for the life of the clicker.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Karin Readel at 410.455.3885 or readel@umbc.edu..
