More advanced application of cps:

  • At present we recommend the use of the CPS system in "verbal mode", i.e. the questions posed are independent of the system. For a more advanced application, an instructor can also imbed questions within the CPS system. If you are interested in pursuing this aspect of application, please contact Morrie Schulman of CIT,

o      Phone: (512)475-6057 or (512)440-0558

o      Email: schulman@mail.utexas.edu

  • The following advanced CPS workshop will be held on August 19 and August 20. Please consider attending!

 

 

Advanced use of the Classroom Performance System

… it’s not too hard to do a lot more

 

How would you like to:

 

-        have direct access to your class data immediately after class;

-        instantly and directly post class records for students;

-        instantly and directly make changes to posted records, such as throw out questions, change a correct answer or add a correct answer;

-        use the system to give students a daily reading quiz that is scored differently from their Classroom Participation;

-        Learn some classroom management tricks from the most successful users of CPS;

-        Use the system in a way that has consistently helped students to enjoy class more and by their own estimate, helped them to understand the subject matter better;

-        Connect and collaborate with other Professors using CPS around the world.
