Student Response System--'Clickers'
A Turning Technologies representative will be on campus July 9 at 9 am in LTC 219. If you can make time, please join us!
This student response system is designed to help engage the computer generation. It can be used for everything from taking attendance, checking if students understood the reading, verifying if students understood the main concepts, giving you a sense of students' base knowledge, etc. The two Semester Research project managed by the Reed Group, LLC in partnership with Thomson Learning, Turning Technologies and the University of Illinois found that 87% of students were more likely to attend class and 72% more students were likely to participate in class.

New library toolbar
Instead of having to go back and forth on the Virtual Library page, you can install a toolbar in your web browser. This allows you to search straight from your home page. Right now it works with IE and Firefox (both pc and Mac versions).
