    Library Instruction Meets Game Show Technology - Presentation Transcript

    1. Library Instruction Meets Game Show Technology
      • ACRL Poster Session
      • Presented by:
      • Susanna Eng [email_address]
      • Susan Gardner [email_address]
      • University of Southern California, Leavey Library
    2. What is PRS Technology?
      • Personal Response System (PRS) “clicker” technology was used for instant audience polling on the game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire”
      • It can be adapted for use in the library instruction setting to achieve instant, interactive assessment
    3. How Does PRS Work?
      • Students see a multiple-choice question displayed on the screen and choose an answer on their clickers.
      • The answer goes to a receiver in the wall via infrared technology.
      • The receiver sends the information to a computer via USB port.
      • The PRS software displays a histogram with the breakdown of class responses.
    4. PRS HARDWARE: Wireless Keypads
      • Keypads are powered by 2 AAA batteries
      • Have their own unique ID
      • Buttons have alpha numeric values (1A, 2B, 3C)
      • Manufactured by GTCO CalComp
    5. PRS Hardware: Receivers
      • Use infrared technology similar to a TV remote control
      • One receiver can accommodate up to 40 keypads
      • A single receiver accepts one signal at a time, but multiple receivers possible
      • Accepts signal from up to 60 feet away
    6. Additional Hardware
      • Receiver connects to the computer via serial port of computer or serial-to-USB adapter
      • Receiver powered by AC power adapter
    7. PRS Software: TurningPoint TM
      • Used in conjunction with MS PowerPoint to create interactive slides
      • Allows you to create multiple choice questions and identify the correct answer
      • Creates detailed reports in Excel spreadsheet form, which analyze individual sessions
      • Reports include: results by question, graphical results by question and participant results, among others
    8. Sample question in TurningPoint slide: Which of the following keyword searches will get you fewer results?
      • cognition and emotion
      • cognition or emotion
      • 1 and 2 will retrieve the same number of results
      • cognition and emotion and achievement

    9. Sample question with responses: Which of the following keyword searches will get you fewer results?
      • cognition and emotion
      • cognition or emotion
      • 1 and 2 will retrieve the same number of results
      • cognition and emotion and achievement

    10. Sample TurningPoint report: “Results by Question”
    11. Sample TurningPoint report: “Graphical Results by Question”
    12. Sample TurningPoint report: “Participant results”
    13. Benefits of PRS for Students
      • Attention-grabbing
      • Integrates technology with learning (especially good for Generation Y)
      • Student responses can remain anonymous
      • Facilitates peer learning
      • Allows for non-threatening, non-graded testing
    14. Benefits of PRS for Librarians
      • Allows for automatic tabulation of responses -labor saving
      • Allows instant assessment of class strengths/weaknesses
      • Facilitates classroom discussion
      • Incorporates active learning
      • Can analyze individual responses to gauge teaching effectiveness
