Our task

An issue paper was approved in Fall 2011. We were tasked with choosing a Classroom Response System (CRS), or “clicker” standard for GRCC.

We presented updates in January (on our proposed process), and March (on our recommendation), and are now ready to vote.

Clarification of a clicker “standard” It doesn’t mean

Everyone has to use clickers Faculty who own clickers have to switch vendors

It does mean All faculty will have the option to utilize this

technology Students will not be asked to buy more than one

clicker Support and training will be available for the

standard

Our recommendation

We propose that GRCC adopt the i>clicker 2 as our standard classroom response system. Faculty requiring students to purchase a classroom response device must use the i>clicker 2.
