This platform session will focus on the use of classroom response systems (“clickers”) as a means of guidance and assessment for archival instruction. Classroom response systems provide a unique technological resource for gaining instant feedback in instructional settings. By using clickers, the archivist was able to better evaluate students’ knowledge base and show how archival instruction increases their capacity to identify and evaluate information. Attendees to this session will leave with practical advice and suggestions for how to implement a classroom response system at their institution.
