Clickers are hand-held remote control response devices used to answer questions in class. Additionally, there is clicker software that allows students to use their mobile device, tablet, or web browser to answer questions. They can be used for giving quizzes, taking attendance, or simply helping to ensure that the students are engaged and actively participating in the course. The PointSolutions RF-LCD and PointSolutions Mobile are the only approved student response technologies for the University of Arkansas.
