Clicker remotes help with classroom involvement

By Jonathan Daugherty and John Daugherty · Thursday, June 30,2005 12:51 a.m.

A student response system, otherwise known as "clickers," are a new tool for learning in a large classroom setting. The clickers, which look similar to TV remotes, are used for answering questions in large lecture halls. Students can answer surveys, take quizzes, or manage attendance using them. IU already has several professors who have used them in the past and many more who want to have them better established on campus.

By David A. Nosko · Thursday, June 30,2005 12:47 a.m.

More than a hundred new Indiana laws are in effect as of Friday, yet that news might be a surprise to some Hoosiers.

HIV on the rise in Bloomington

By Alvin Henry · Thursday, June 30,2005 12:46 a.m.

According to a new report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, HIV is higher than it has ever been in the United States. Of the more than one million people in the country who have this fatal disease, three-fourths are men and almost half are black. Bloomington, according to the State Board of Health, reflects these numbers. It is far from being tamed, yet there seems to be less attention brought to the HIV/AIDS epidemic in America today than in previous years when the disease first began to spread.

Being a 'guirui' in Spain

By Alyson Brodsy and Jessica Gall · Thursday, June 30,2005 12:43 a.m.

I have been in Spain for 11 days, yet life here is so different from what I am used to that I am definitely still adjusting to it. For the next three weeks I am living on the 11th floor of an apartment building in Seville, Spain, with my host, Nati, a 60-year-old nurse who has lived in this building her entire life. I go to Spanish language classes from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. five days a week and have the rest of my time free to explore my new surroundings of palm trees and centuries-old buildings and monuments.

By C. Warner Sills and John Barnett · Thursday, June 30,2005 12 a.m.
