Your course outline will indicate whether you require a clicker - not all courses at Western use clickers. If you are unsure, please check with your instructor.
New InterWrite clickers can be purchased at the Western Bookstore on the lower level of the University Community
Centre. Currently, used clickers cannot be purchased. First and second generation eInstruction CPS-RF clickers (as pictured below) are no longer supported, so if you currently own one, you must purchase an InterWrite clicker in order to participate in classes that use clicker technology.
When you first turn your clicker on, a few things will appear on the screen, but you don't need to worry about them.
2. Go to setup menu
Press the star button until you see Setup menu, and then press the up arrow once.
You should see ID on the screen. Once you see this, press the green button.
You will see a screen asking you to enter your user ID.
3. Entering your username
Your user ID is the part of your UWO email address that comes before the @ symbol.
Typing on your clicker can be a little tricky, but here's what you have to do. First, find the letter on the clicker that is closest to the letter in your name (For example, if you are looking for the letter N, press T).
Then use the arrow buttons to scroll though the letters until you find the letter you are looking for.
Now repeat this process until you have entered all the letters in your user name.
4. Save your settings
When you have finished entering your user ID, press the green button to save. Your clicker is now set up for use.
Turn your clicker on and enter the shortcut code your instructor gave you. Once you have done this, press the green button.
2. Answering questions
To answer questions, press the letter, number, or true or false buttons (For example, if you were answering 'B' to a multiple choice question, you would press B).
Then hit the green button to send.
Something you should note...
Your clicker will go to sleep when it has been idle for about a minute. The screen will go blank when this happens.
Don't worry when this happens. Just press any button and your clicker will wake up.
DO NOT turn your clicker off and then on again, or else you will have to rejoin the clicker session.
