Why did Cal Poly choose iClicker® specifically?
A faculty learning group tested the iClicker on the recommendation of the physics undergraduate education community. The iClicker system is extremely simple to use because it was designed by faculty members (at the University of Illionois) with faculty members’ needs in mind. Our faculty learning group agreed that the simplicity of the system outweighed its limited functionality. The iClicker can only deal with multiple choice questions; you cannot ask students for text or numeric answers.
