Faculty Resources for Qwizdom

Used to promote interactivity and guide the grasp of concepts, student response systems or clickers offer faculty a means to give students a new way to engage with course material and simultaneously assess their level of understanding--all during the contact hour.  Using responses to question slides, instructors are immediately able to see how students respond and then tailor class time as a result.  Qwizdom is the standard system that is supported in LSA.   Review the information and the related questions below to decide if Qwizdom is a good choice for your course.
