Clickers, Coffee, and Cookies
This semester six faculty have been piloting the student response system CPS from eInstruction.com. CPS response pads (a.k.a. "clickers") have allowed faculty and their students to gain quick insights into levels of understanding and student opinion as well as to quickly take and grade quizzes.Because clickers may need to be purchased by students and this is the time of the semester faculty submit required textbooks to the bookstore, ITS would like to invite all faculty to an informational session about using clickers with Spring courses. Faculty from the pilot will describe the ways in which they used the clickers this semester and we will talk about what students can expect when they purchase the devices from the bookstore. Light refreshments provided. If you are interested, but unable to attend, please contact Jason Alley (alleyj@lafayette.edu or 5884) with any questions or ideas you might have. Skillman Library, Gendebien Room (206)

Knee Deep and Risin'
The Grossman Gallery, in the Williams Visual Arts Building, is one block from the Delaware River and sits directly over the Bushkill Creek. Both bodies of water have overflowed their banks in recent years. Knee Deep and Risin', created by Jim Toia and Noah Vawter, is a multimedia installation of video and audio feeds from both waterways. Infrared sensors, triggered by visitors' moving the exhibition screens, activate live and recorded video and audio, simulating flood events from fresh perspectives. Knee Deep and Risin' is an interdisciplinary project by Lafayette College's Department of Computer Science, Department of Art, Grossman Gallery, Community Based Teaching Program, and the Lehigh Valley Performing Arts High School.
