Clicker Culture: Use of Electronic Response Pads in an HBCU Environment

The purpose of this study is to analyze whether students taking a Pocket PC course, centered on experiential learning in a wholly online learning environment can be properly assessed through a performance-based evaluation process. We will discuss the benefits and challenges of integrating this type of assessment approach into distance education courses. This session is intended for all those interested in and concerned with how experiential learning is evaluated and assessed in online learning environments. Experiential learning is comprised of three components: knowledge, activity and reflection (Kolb, 1984; Rogers, 1994). It can be characterized as a “direct encounter with the phenomena being studied rather than merely thinking about the encounter, or only considering the possibility of doing something about it” (Borzak, 1981, p. 9). We will discuss how we developed an effective assessment tool utilizing Webcams and Pocket Controller, allowing instructors to evaluate technical proficiency of the students in an online course.
