Clickers for Faculty

Thanks to some funding enhancement from the Provost's office, Classroom Support (CTSS) is now able to provide faculty with 2 of the new XR model clickers for the purpose of using clickers for teaching. These units will become the property of the individual faculty member and are their responsibility including the maintenance of batteries.

These can be sent to faculty via campus mail or they can stop by the CTSS office in Nelson Smith to pick them up.

• If Mailing is preferred: Please include campus mail code in an email sent to dosmith@ilstu.edu
• If Picking them up in person: Please call 8-7412 to arrange to have someone to hand these out.

How to Qualify:

In order to qualify for the 2 free clickers, you must indicate that a clicker is required for your course (this is done at the same time as indicating required textbooks). This also has the benefit of showing students enrolling for the course that a clicker is required and will allow them to register their clicker number in the icampus portal.

How to indicate a clicker is required for your course:

This process may differ between departments. Please check with your administrative assistants to verify this process.

• You will enter the clicker ISBN number in the textbook order form. An example of the form can be found on the Registrar's Website.
• The ISBN is as follows: 9789990031805
• Your departmental designee will enter your textbook requests into the mainframe
• Students will then see the clicker listed as a requirement for the course. Required materials appear on
  • course finder
  • icampus portal
  • at the bookstore
• You will also want to mention clicker requirements in your syllabus. Click here for sample syllabi.
