-The Erskine College, Michigan State University and Harvard University parntership will investigate how to use technology to optimize the effectiveness of the discussions in Peer Instruction. To this end they will develop a classroom communication system that allows the use of consumer devices such as PDAs and cellphones. The system will seamlessly integrate current `clicker' technology with more advanced communication devices, offering instructors nationwide a gradual transition path to an advanced classroom network.
