UM-Ann Arbor Qwizdom Pilot

• IT Committee Meeting Notes
• March 23, 2007

• Clicker Update
• The LSA Deans group approved Qwizdom clickers
  for college-wide support. The Dean encouraged
  faculty to use clickers to creatively engage
  students in the classroom. LSA will pay for the
  site license over 5 years. Students can purchase
  Qwizdom clickers at the Computer Showcase for
  35. Students can sell them back to the Computer
  Showcase which will produce an inventory of used
  clickers. Students, in time, will be able to
  purchase clickers at a reduced price. Faculty
  will still be able to choose alternative clicker
  systems to Qwizdom, but they will have to be
  purchased and supported within the department.
  The Deans office will have to approve any
  additional funding for clicker systems not using
  Qwizdom. Other Schools and Colleges (e.g.
  Engineering) will likely join the LSA site
  license for Qwizdom. ISS will provide workshops
  on how to best use the clickers in the classroom.
  Faculty can apply for faculty project grants to
  explore ideas for using clickers in their
  lectures.
