Help create active, engaged learning experiences for your students.
New to classroom clickers? Or need a refresher? Whether you want to use them for the first time this fall, or you’re an old hand with them, the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Technology (CTLT) is offering three workshops in the coming weeks that you shouldn’t miss. CTLT is expanding its support for classroom clickers on campus this summer, including support for an alternative to the traditional PowerPoint-based polling solution, called Anywhere Polling. Seating is limited for each event, so registration is required.
