The H-ITT student response system will be available in 13 of 22 Bumpers College classroom/teaching lab locations. Instructors who will be using that system during Spring semester must contact Wes Opela at the Bookstore so that an appropriate number of the transmitters can be ordered for your students. His number is 575-3045. If you wish to check the AFLS classroom/lab locations which have this resource, visit http://www.uark.edu/admin/aesbus/Technology/Resources/TechClassrooms.htm.
