Student Response System ("Clicker") Pilot at UWI, Mona Campus

Mona Information Technology Services (MITS) is currently conducting a Pilot Study at the UWI, Mona Campus, to assess the benefits of using Student Response Systems in the classroom. Student Response Systems allow instructors to pose questions to students within a class, after which students’ answers can be immediately collected and viewed using small handheld devices (resembling a remote control) called clickers.

The UWI, Mona Clicker Pilot was initiated about a year and a half ago by the Instruction Support Systems (ISS) unit at MITS. This project is just one of the many initiatives being undertaken by the unit to expand teaching and learning opportunities on the Campus. Currently, there are four departments working alongside MITS on the Pilot. Namely: The UWI School of Nursing/UWISON, Caribbean Institute of Media and Communication/CARIMAC, the Chemistry Department and the Faculty of Medical Sciences.
