The Personal Response System is a wireless technology in which students, equipped with clickers, respond to a variety of questions posed by the librarian in the course of the presentation. Both types of sessions, offered by the same librarian, included the same research skills content.  Created for the purpose of evaluating various aspects of the library presentation, a questionnaire completed by all students was analyzed.  In the evaluation, the PRS group not only indicated a greater enjoyment of the session but found the presenter to be well organized.  The authors also discuss aspects of using clickers versus employing a traditional classroom setting.</p> http://connect.educause.edu/display/46594#comments Classroom Response Systems EQ Information Literacy Interaction and Engagement Libraries and Technology EDUCAUSE Quarterly Articles Articles, Papers, and Reports Fri, 11 Apr 2008 13:09:40 -0500 elilly 46594 at http://connect.educause.edu
