Required CPS Pad:
We will be using e-instruction in class on a regular basis. You will need to purchase a CPS pad (commonly called a "clicker") from the bookstore or computer store and bring it with you to every class session. It would be wise to bring extra batteries as well, as we will be using the pads in activities that count for class points. The purchase of a CPS pad is NOT optional; it will be used as an integral part of this course. I will provide a short demonstration of how to use CPS in class.
Note: Students should purchase ONLY ONE "CLICKER" because the same unit can be used in every class that chooses to use the CPS system.
After you purchase your clicker, you must register your clicker online for this class. It is imperative that every student register their unit no later than __________. Instructions for the registration process can be found at the end of the syllabus.
Returning Clickers for a Full Refund:
Unopened CPS clickers can be returned for a full refund (of the cost of the hardware only) to the UCF Bookstore during the first week of classes at the start of each semester with a receipt.
Refunds of Enrollment Fees (Activation Codes):
If you drop the class, activation codes purchased online from eInstruction may be refunded within 30 days of paying eInstruction for enrollment. Some restrictions apply. For details, please click here.
Exchanges:
Defective clickers may be exchanged without a receipt. The procedure is as follows:
- Contact eInstruction Tech Support at (888) 333-7532 or http://www.einstruction.com/support and describe the problem to them.
- If they are unable to resolve they problem, you will be sent an email with an attached tracking form.
- Take the form along with the clicker to the UCF bookstore or computer store to exchange it.
- Once you have the new clicker, log back into CPS Online as you did when you originally registered the clicker.
- Click on Account Information. For each current course, change the serial number associated with your account.
- Inform you instructors of the change as they may need to update their rosters in order for your new clicker to work properly.
