  • Laser Pointers: Low-Cost, Low-Tech Innovative, Interactive Instruction Tool Zdravkovska, Nevenka Cech, Maureen Beygo, Pinar Kackley, Bob Lasers Equipment Academic Libraries Research Libraries Learner Engagement Information Literacy Library Instruction This paper discusses the use of laser pointers at the Engineering and Physical Sciences Library, University of Maryland, College Park, as a personal response system (PRS) tool to encourage student engagement in and interactivity with one-shot, lecture-based information literacy sessions. Unlike more sophisticated personal response systems like clickers, laser pointers are low-cost and low-tech, but comparable in increasing student engagement. (Contains 3 tables.)
