Announcements

ATTENTION: Instructors, who use "Clickers": Critical Turning Point (Clicker) update required.

Beginning at 10:00 a.m. 1/16/09, all students, who attempted to register their clicker device ID numbers in WebCT, were unable to complete the registration process.

Instructors: A fix is now available for the clicker registration pages in WebCT courses, including a new version of TurningPoint for PC.

Students: ALL STUDENTS—even those who have previously registered their
clickers—are required to re-register their clicker device ID numbers after the clicker registration page has been replaced by their instructors. Your instructor will notify you when you can log into your WebCT course and re-register your clicker. Look for the new "TurningPoint Keypad Register" link in your course.
