A Workshop on Engaging Students Using Wireless Personal Response System (PRS)

Wednesday, August 21, 2002, 2 to 3:00 PM, CME Auditorium

Jeff Gerst, professor of biological sciences, Otto Helweg, dean, college of engineering and architecture, and Sudhir Mehta, associate vice president for academics and professor of mechanical engineering will lead the workshop.

After successfully using the PRS in the Stevens and the CME auditoriums last year, 24 additional classrooms (see the list below)are being equipped with the PRS this summer on our campus. The PRS allows students to respond to an instructor's questions wirelessly, and the system can record their responses automatically in a grade book. The workshop will provide a demonstration and describe a step wise procedure of how you can use the PRS in your classes (large or small) to enhance student engagement and assessment of their learning.

If you are interested in using the PRS this fall in your classroom and you need help in setting up the programs, please come to the workshop and later graduate student assistants can help you with the set up at your convenient time, in your office. Cookies and punch will be served at 1:45 PM.
