Abstract

Increasing student interaction in the classroom is an area of interest for many faculty members. Personal Response Systems (PRS), also known as classroom clickers, may aid in this goal. In this article, we describe Kutztown University's pilot PRS program. Included are the criteria we used to select a PRS vendor, our approach in designing and delivering the Kutztown PRS program, and the preliminary results of our year-long pilot.
