TIPS FOR STUDENTS

Clicker "lockout" feature

UCR Clickers have a feature that prevents students from overloading the receivers with too many responses at once. This feature disables the Clickers for two seconds after each button press. When a button is pressed, and not accepted (for whatever reason), you must wait two seconds before you press any button. If you do not wait for two seconds, all presses are ignored. If your first attempt to respond is not accepted, remember to wait two full seconds before trying to respond again.


Clicker "types"

There are two types of clickers in circulation, an older six-button and a newer 13-button model. Both clicker models will function in the classroom, but the six-button model is a one-way unit and it will not receive a signal back from the receiver indicating that your response has been received. You will have to be dependent on locating your number on the projected acquisition grid. The 13-button model (two-way) will indicate via the red LED turning green, that your response has been received as well as on the acquisition grid.
