Hello clicker faculty,

This page has been put together for you to use as a resource for PRS 5 tutorials and questions. PRS 5 has many great new features that you all have requested and is a lot easier to use than previous versions. If you are new to clickers, you will find this software is intuitive and easy to use. Each tutorial is a short video showing you exactly how to perform the task at hand. Most of them will have Word documents with the steps to go with them also. Since this is new software if there are any tutorials you don’t find here that you wish we would include, please let us know. We appreciate your feedback. Simply contact Cherie Blut, cblut@csusm.edu for questions on any of the tutorials.

Thank you,
Academic Technology Team
