Mathematics:
Cornell University Mathematics Department's GoodQuestions Project: http://www.math.cornell.edu/~GoodQuestions/.
"The Cornell University Mathematics Department's GoodQuestions Project
has developed and made available a set of multiple-choice GoodQuestions,
checks of student understanding for use with a CRS during introductory
calculus classes. (Description taken from Vanderbilt's Center for
Teaching - Above).
Great paper: "Asking good questions in the mathematics classroom" by Maria Terrell, Cornell University "
Science:
Astronomy, Physics, etc:
Duncan, D. "Clickers in the Classroom: How to Enhance Science Teaching Using Classroom Response Systems." (72 pages, about $15 with shipping from Pearson). Duncan "describes
his experience using a CRS in his astronomy classes and provides advice
for teachers interested in using CRSs [Classroom Response Systems] in
their classes." Highly recommended for all educators including K-12
teachers & administrators. Duncan's web site.
Biology, etc:
"Dee Silverthorn of the School of Biological Sciences at the University
of Texas at Austin uses a CRS in her upper level vertebrate physiology
class. [Dr. Silverthorn has created a] series of well-produced
QuickTime videos in which Professor Silverthorn describes her
experiences with a CRS. The videos [here] also show a CRS in action." (Description taken from Vanderbilt's Center for Teaching - Above).
Physics:
Read Mazur and Hake's papers on Peer Instruction in physics and their long work with SRS.
