[Using Sakai] Sakai Clicker integration

[Ed Garay]

Sounds like i>Clicker is well supported by Sakai, in which case I would also recommend that you take a closer look at i>Clicker. 

At UIC, we support two student response systems: i>Clicker and TurningPoint. They both are performing very well for us, but i>Clicker is by far the most popular (widely popular) and the easiest one to support, from the instructors' and classroom podium's points of views. 

The i>Clicker2 remote (released in July) has a little screen to support alphanumeric  answers, that is, more than the generic five buttons that the original i>Clicker remote use to have. Also, both, i>Clicker and TurningPoint also offer comparable Mobile Web clicker apps to use on Internet-enabled  mobile devices. 

Disclaimer: the "i" in i>Clicker stands for Illinois, since it was developed at our sister campus at Urbana-Champaign. ;-)
