  • 1.  Academy PDW on Clickers

    Posted 07-09-2009 17:23

    Hi there,

     

    I would like to draw your attention to our teaching-oriented PDW at this year's Academy of Management Meetings:

     

    Clickers, Zappers, and Keypads: Using Audience Response Systems in the Management Classroom

     

    Program Session #: 228 | Submission: 10803 | Sponsor(s): (TTC, MED, OB, BPS, OCIS, IM, CM)
    Scheduled: Saturday, Aug 8 2009 10:40AM - 12:40PM at Sheraton Chicago in Ohio Room

     

    No pre-registration required

     

    Presenters:       Markus Vodosek, U. of Utah

    Darrell G. Coleman, U. of Utah

    Jeff Hassett, U. of Utah

     

    In this workshop, participants will learn how audience response systems work and how they can be used to apply adult learning theories to the management classroom, to enhance the learning experience of the student, and to reduce the administrative burden of the instructor. An audience response system enables students to reply electronically to instructor questions and allows the instructor to tally and display aggregate responses by the push of a button. Current audience response systems utilize remote control devices, often referred to as "clickers," "zappers," or "keypads," which students use to submit their responses to a receiver connected to the instructor's computer. Each workshop participant will use a clicker to gain first-hand experience with the student end of the interface. To experience the instructor-end of the interface, participants will break into small groups and, together with their group members, will write and refine a number of their own clicker questions under the guidance of the presenters. Each group will then have the opportunity to program a question into a standard PowerPoint presentation. The questions will later be posted on a website so that participants can use them as templates and inspiration for their own teaching. In addition, this workshop will address how to get started with clickers and how to get support from the participants' home institutions. The workshop is targeted towards instructors who have limited or no experience with audience response systems.

     

    Best,

    Markus Vodosek

    Aloha Markus,

    You may be interested in some history relative to classroom response systems.  If so, I can point you to research that was done in the late 1960's that showed surprising effectiveness.

    Also, will your PDW address the equivalent methods of participant response techniques for online seminars ?

    Dear Morton,

     

    I would be very interested in learning more about the research on classroom response systems done in the 1960s. Would you send me some references?

     

    We will not go into the details of participant response techniques for online seminars. However, we will point out that there are equivalent response techniques for online courses.

     

    Thank you very much for your feedback.

     

    Best,

    Markus

    Markus,

    Search the University of Georgia Dissertation database for 1969 "Management of Learning for the Learning of Management" author Cotlar, M.
    That should get you to the abstract as well as the entire document.
