What is PRS?

PRS (Personal Response System) is a simple, inexpensive technology that allows students to use handheld clickers to submit answers to questions.

Getting Help with PRS

Instructors:

The "Getting Started" section of the Instructor Resources section will help you learn how to install, set up, and manage a PRS course. If you require more documentation on PRS, there is a PRS Handbook available, and more information on the Interwrite PRS website.

If you are an instructor using PRS, you can also set up a one on one consultation for assistance using PRS by contacting the Instructional Media Lab.

Students:

The Student Resources section will give you instructions on setting up your clicker, as well as tips and troubleshooting techniques.
