Student Resources for Clickers

Intro to Clickers

What are Clickers used for?

Clickers are used in classes to facilitate interaction between students and the instructor. For example, instructors might conduct polling and question-and-answer sessions via PowerPoint through the clicker system.

Purchasing a Clicker

If a course you are registered in requires you to purchase a clicker, it will typically be listed under the Required Textbooks section of the registration page as "Response Card", "RF Device" or something similar.

You can purchase a clicker two ways:

• at the UW Bookstore
• Online: (FOR A DISCOUNT: Use the University of Washington School Purchase Code: 9mF5):https://store.turningtechnologies.com/index.cfm

Note: the same clicker can be reused for different classes.

Getting Started
