Classroom Support works with faculty and students to test, evaluate and integrate new classroom applications and tools to improve teaching and learning at OSU. Contact Rick Brand at 737-3816 for more information.
Student Response Systems
Classroom technology includes a growing number of software- based applications that greatly increase options for students to interact with faculty and content. One such application are Student Response Systems (SRS) or "clickers." Clickers allow students to respond electronically to in-class questions and quizzes and provide faculty immediate feedback on student comprehension or input.
Presentation Capture Systems
Presentation capture software allows faculty to digitally record their voice and classroom presentations (PowerPoint, document camera, video) and upload the lectures to the web or into a BlackBoard course. Faculty pre-record lectures in order to free-up classroom time for small group work or other interactive sessions. The captured lectures can be used for student review or for e-learning applications. Presentation capture software replaces the more costly process of videotaping lectures and encoding for web-based distribution.
