Classroom Performance System

Filed under: General, Technology, Resources, West — kevin @ 1:28 pm

If you are a faculty member who always wanted a simple way to anonymously and instantly poll your students’ knowledge in the classroom, the CPS - also known as the “clickers” may be for you.

Once the instructor plugs USB receiver into his or her computer, the individual handsets - 24 in all - allow the students to plug in responses to multiple choice questions projected onto the Smartboard. The results are displayed as percentages for selections of A, B, C, or D.

Open case. 

Instant feedback.

West Library is administering the devices, which travel easily in a bag with a shoulder strap. IT’s Julie Lopez provides training. 

The case and the scanning gun.

Rising Waters in Pottstown

Filed under: General, West — kevin @ 5:19 pm

The main building may be high and dry, but College Drive has little protection from the Schuylkill River and Manatawny Creek in times of heavy rain. Administrators decided to close the Pottstown campus today and tomorrow. Exams have been rescheduled for Monday, July 3.

Book Exchange comes to West Library

Filed under: General, West — kevin @ 12:23 pm

The TAKE ONE/LEAVE ONE shelving unit is the one nearest the entrance.

If you see a book you want, bring in a book you have already read to exchange for the one you are taking.

Our only condition is that the books you bring be in good condition and free of mold or mildew.

ALSO, NO TEXTBOOKS, please.
