SPEMI/12/AS/12/UEPC - Standard Student Response System Effective January 7, 2013 Resolved: that the CSU Stanislaus faculty acknowledges the request from the California State Students Association that each campus select a standard student response system to prevent students from needing to purchase or rent multiple brands of “clickers,” and be it further
Resolved: that when using a system of instantaneous, electronic feedback from students (e.g., a “student response system”), CSU Stanislaus faculty are encouraged to use the i>Clicker, and be it further
Resolved: that CSU Stanislaus be encouraged to pursue an agreement with i>Clicker which will reduce student cost and provide faculty support; and be it further
Resolved: that no faculty member be prohibited from using a product different from i>Clicker.
Rationale: The Technology and Learning Subcommittee (TLS) of UEPC undertook a study of student response system (SRS) use starting in January, 2011. The study follows a rise in use of student response systems, and a November, 2010 request from the California State Students Association that each campus select a standard student response system to prevent students from needing to purchase or rent multiple brands of “clickers.” Currently 18 of 23 CSU campuses use a standard clicker as a matter of policy. TLS’s survey shows that while a minority (23%) of faculty and students have used a student response system, the substantial majority (67%) of those using an SRS choose the i>Clicker brand. The i>Clicker has been used without substantial complaint by a number of stakeholders on campus, including the Academic Senate. The Office of Information Technology and the Faculty Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning are committed to providing technical support and faculty development in the use of the student response system.
Review History: Approved by the Technology and Learning Subcommittee on September 28, 2012. Approved by the University Educational Policies Committee on September 28, 2012. Approved by the Academic Senate on November 6, 2012. Approved by Interim President Sheley on January 7, 2013.
Strategic Planning, Enrollment Management, & Innovation Division has the primary responsibility for this policy.
