| About Clickers Classroom response systems (CRS, also known as "clickers") allow students to answer or vote on a question with a hand-held device, much like polling the audience on the Who Wants to be a Millionaire gameshow. Some clickers allow for alphanumeric entry, but most are geared toward multiple-choice questions. Infusing a lecture with clicker questions not only improves student engagement, but provides opportunities for real-time formative assessment. The instructor can help identify and lead a discussion on common misconceptions and mistakes, and students can get find out whether or not they truly understand the topic. "Think-Pair-Share" is a particularly engaging peer-instruction technique for using clicker questions, as pioneered by Eric Mazur and the ConcepTests he developed for his Harvard Physics courses. (Organic Chemistry ConcepTests collection by JCE/ChemEdX). Would you like to contribute clicker questions to LOCAL? Please contact Laurie Starkey | |||

| The Worksheets provided can be used for students working in groups. The case studies have been drawn from the NSF National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (NCCSTS) website at the University of Buffalo. Would you like to contribute resources to LOCAL? Please contact Laurie Starkey | |||
Want to make a video? See "Video Creation Resources" at the following website. The goal of the LOCAL website is to build collection of videos and other resources that can be used to support a flipped classroom model (to learn more, visit flippedlearning.org or Vanderbilt Center for Teaching). When a class is "flipped," the traditional lecture material is accessed by the student outside of class, so face-to-face class time can be spent on more meaningful tasks: working problems and having discussions...putting theory into practice.
