Response Main Window


Response Window Tour

Select Database A Response database is a file with a file extension of .prs. This file is where you save your class information, lessons and questions, standards, and student performance data for sessions already administered. The system is set up with a default database, so you can start using it right away. You also have the option of creating your own database if you share your computer with other instructors.

Setup My Hardware This opens the eInstruction Device Manager, where you can setup and troubleshoot the receiver, enable the instructor Student Response Pad, or configure Student Response Pads.

Create A New Class Though Response comes with a premade class, you may use the New Class Wizard to create additional classes. It walks you through every step required to set up your class, from naming it to creating or importing the class roster.

Collect Responses

There are a variety of ways of collecting your students' responses in your database such asking questions on the fly, using PowerPoint, Self-Paced testing, or Homework collection.

Manage My Data This is where you will manage your classes, class rosters, session data, class attendance, and class gradebooks. In addition, you can do the following:

• Create and manage your lessons and the questions in each lesson. • Import standards for your state. • Set up answer keys. • Analyze and compile your data into a variety of useful reports.

Simple View This button will allow you to collapse the Response window to only show the Collect Responses and Manage My Data buttons. This feature is useful once you have initially set-up your system.


Configuring Student Response Pads

Depending on your requirements, the CPS Pulse Student Response Pad may need to be configured. Only CPS Pulse Student Response Pads can be configured. By default, CPS Pulse Student Response Pads are configured as Normal. Normal

• Factory default. • Generally used in a university setting when

the student owns the Student Response Pad or when the Student Response Pad is the property of the student for the school term.

• The student enters his or her student ID one time only. The student ID is stored in the CPS Pulse Student Response Pad's memory and is transmitted with each answer to ensure the student receives credit for the response.

Loaner

• Requires initial configuration. • Typically used when the school owns the Student Response Pads and multiple

classes share the Student Response Pads. • Because the students share the Student Response Pads, the student IDs are not

remembered by the Student Response Pad and therefore it prompts for the student ID each time it is powered on.

• Also may also be used in case a student forgets to bring their Student Response Pad to class.

Instructor (PRS RF Only)

• Requires initial configuration. • The Instructor Student Response Pad is used by the teacher to send commands

to the session and to remotely control it from anywhere in the room.

Normal Configuration As mentioned above, the CPS Pulse Student Response Pads are configured as normal by default. You will configure Student Response Pads as Normal in case you need to delete student IDs from previously used Student Response Pads or change back to default from another configuration such as Loaner.

1. Select Setup My Hardware from the main screen.

2. Right-click the Response Receiver icon, and select Properties.

3. Click on the Configure Clickers tab.


4. Choose Normal from the Clicker Type drop down menu.

5. Click on the Setup button to display the Feedback instructions.

6. Turn on your CPS Pulse Student Response Pad.

7. Input the number or letter (the channel) that appears at the end of the line. In this case, it is the letter <A>. The channel may vary on each setup.

8. Once you see Normal on the 2nd line, press the arrow key to join.

When seeing Join ID followed by a number this means that you have successfully configured your Student Response Pad.

Loaner Configuration If you are configuring your Student Response Pads as Loaner, you are facing one of the following two scenarios: You own a set of Student Response Pads that will be used by multiple sets of students, and you want the students to be able to use whatever Student Response Pad they pick up at the beginning of class. All students in your class(es) have purchased a Student Response Pad, and you want a few spares in case they forget to bring their Student Response Pads.


2. Right-click the Response Receiver icon, then select Properties.

3. Click the Configure Clickers tab.

4. Choose Loaner from the Clicker Type drop down menu.


6. Turn on CPS Pulse Student Response Pad.

7. Input the number or letter (the channel) that appears at the end of the line. In this case, it is the letter <A>. The channel may vary on each Setup.

8. Once you see Loaner on the 2nd line, press the arrow key to join.


When seeing Join ID followed by a number, this means that you have successfully configured your Student Response Pad.

Instructor Configuration (PRS RF Only) A Cricket Student Response Pad configured as an Instructor Student Response Pad is used to remotely control a Response session. For example, an Instructor Student Response Pad allows you to start and stop a question from anywhere in the classroom.



3. Click the Configure Clickers tab.

4. Choose the Clicker Type Instructor from the drop down menu.


6. Turn on your CPS Pulse Student Response Pad.

7. Input the number or letter (the channel) that appears at the end of the line. The channel may vary on each setup.

8. Once you see Instructor on the 2nd line, press the arrow key to join.

11. Click on the “Enable Instructor Clicker” checkbox.

12. Enter the Radio (Clicker) ID of the Instructor or Maestro Student Response Pad (Cricket) in the text box.


Test System

The Test System option tests both your receiver and Student Response Pads. It determines whether the receiver is installed properly and can successfully receive responses.

1. Select Setup My Hardware from the main screen. The eInstruction Device Manager window opens.


3. Click the Test tab.

4. Click on the Start Receiver button. Response starts the PRS RF receiver and displays a numbered pair. The receiver is properly connected if the numbered pair appears. The CPS Pulse receiver will show one channel number.

Note If the numbers are not displayed, either the receiver is not connected or detected. Verify that the receiver is properly installed and try again.

Test the Student Response Pads

1. Power on the Student Response Pads (Cricket, PRS RF and/or CPS Pulse) you want to test.

2. Refer to the numbered pair at the top of the window, such as <8, 43>. CPS Pulse users use the first number (8) to test the system. Cricket users use the second number (43) to join and the PRS RF uses the first or single digit, this may be a letter as well.

Note CPS Pulse /PRS RF Student Response Pads use single digit codes to join the channel while Crickets use double digit codes.

3. When a signal is received from a Student Response Pad, the Student Response Pad and its identifying information will be listed in the window.


Creating a Class The New Class Wizard takes you through each step in the process of setting up your class and class roster. Additional directions can be found on each page of the wizard.

7. Select Student Response Pad Type(s):

Identify the Student Response Pad(s) that will be used by the students in this class. You can have a mixed environment where PRS RF/CPS Pulse and Cricket are used together. All responses are received by the compatible receiver and recorded in the same software.


9. Enter Broadcast Name. The Broadcast Name is the name of the class that will appear on the PRS RF’s/CPS Pulse’s LCD display during the initial auto-scan. It is the name by which the students will identify this class in order to join it.

Note This can be no more than 10 characters and may not include punctuations or symbols.

10. Enter System Type. System Type is based on the configuration of the Student Response Pads being used in the class: Normal, Closed, or Loaner.

Note If you are concerned that students are not entering a correct student ID into their RF Student Response Pads, you can select the Ignore StudentID from PRS RF Student Response Pad option to suppress that identification from being sent with each transmission. However, a student record with the correct student ID and Student Response Pad ID must already be in place before students join the class if you are going to use this option.


12. The last step of the new class wizard is to add students. This will be covered in the next section, so for now click skip.


14. Click the Finish button and you will be taken back to the main screen.


Create a Roster There are three methods of adding students to the roster.

• Auto-populate roster The first time a student joins a class with their Student Response Pad, their student IDs (PRS RF/CPS Pulse only) and Student Response Pad IDs (all Student Response Pad types) are added to the roster automatically. Student names and other student profile information can be added at a later time.

• Manually enter students into the roster Enter students into the roster manually, one at a time.

• Import Roster Import the roster from a variety of applications using a csv format.

Tip For the PRS RF/CPS Pulse Student Response Pads, use the auto-populate function to add the Student Response Pad and student IDs and then add the student names manually or by importing a roster in csv format. For the Cricket, the auto-populate function can only be used to populate the Student Response Pad IDs, but not the student IDs.

Auto-Populate Roster In order to auto-populate the roster with student IDs (PRS RF/CPS Pulse only) and Student Response Pad IDs (both Student Response Pads), join and quit a session. No responses are necessary. Select Collect Responses from the main screen.

The Collect Responses-New Session dialog box will appear with the following fields:

• Name: The default name

is the class name followed by the date and time at which the session is initiating. This of course can be customized as seen here.

• Class: You should have already created a class so you now have two classes in the drop down menu. Select your New Customized class in order to build the roster.

• Subject/Section: Select the Subject or Section, if appropriate. • Select Impromptu as the Lesson Type.

Click on the OK button to accept the settings.


Click OK to dismiss the Impromptu Options and display the Session Toolbar. Have students turn on all Student Response Pads and join the class by entering the join code character(s) within the brackets < >. On the PRS RF Student Response Pad, press after the class name is displayed to join the class. On the Cricket Student Response Pads, enter the join code and press the enter button. Click on to End Session. Click End the Class to return to the main screen. Click Manage My Data from the main screen. When the Manage My Data window appears, select the class from the classes pane. Select the Roster tab from the roster pane.

Roster Pane

Classes Pane


All new students added to a roster will first go to the Pending List until approved by the instructor at which time; the student(s) will be moved to the Official Roster.

Note The Alert column is provided to show any issues like duplicate student IDs or blank

student IDs, etc. You should resolve these issues before the next session to ensure data integrity.

Use one of the following two icons either to move students individually to the Official Roster or to move the entire roster.

• Move the selected student records from the Pending List to the Official Roster.

• Moves all the student records from the Pending List to the Official Roster. It will not move a record into the Official Roster if it is a duplicate of a record already in the Roster.

Manually enter students into the roster

1. From the main screen, navigate to the Manage My Data > Classes > Roster tab.

2. Double click a student from the Official Roster or click New Student.

3. Enter the required information, such as Student ID and Clicker ID.

Note For PRS RF/CPS Pulse Student Response Pads, the Student Response Pad and student ID fields will already be populated because the auto-populate method should be used. To find the Student Response Pad/Radio ID on the Cricket RF, look on the white label on the back.

4. Enter Student’s First Name and Last Name along with any other information you would like to record.

5. Click on Save to record the student information into the roster.


6. To edit another student, highlight their name in the bottom window and change the information,click the Save button.

7. To add a new student, click New.

8. When finished, click Close.

Import a roster using a csv file The roster for your class can come from a variety of sources. As long as it is from an existing Response class or is in a .csv file format, a roster from just about any source can be accommodated and imported into Response. There are three classifications of imported rosters. These categories are based on the amount of manipulation the file requires before it can be imported.

• A roster from an existing class - no manipulation required.

• A roster from Blackboard, PRS Web Registration, PRS v4.xx, or a Response v5 roster from another installation - no manipulation required.

• A roster in a CSV file format, but not from any of the sources listed above - requires some manipulation.

9. Click on in the Manage My Data window.

10. Select Import custom non-Response Roster (csv).

Note The only required field in the imported roster is the Student ID, but it is also a

good idea to include the First Name and Last Name. The .csv file must include a heading (ex: First Name, Last Name, Student ID) for each column otherwise it will not be recognized. See example roster below.

FIRST NAME

LAST NAME

STUDENT ID

Ben Affleck 1 Jennifer Aniston 2 Drew Barrymore 3 Halle Berry 4 Cate Blanchett 5 Jackie Chan 6


Bill Cosby 7 Courtney Cox 8 Penelope Cruz 9 Matt Damon 10

11. Click on the Browse button to select the .csv file.

12. Navigate to the location of the roster file you want to import, select it and click on the Open button.

13. Indicate how the imported roster is parsed. Most are comma-separated.


15. Select merge to retain the information in the existing roster such as the Student Response Pad ID and Student ID. It is recommended that you Merge with current Roster by Student ID since it is usually a required field in most registration applications.

16. Click on the Next button to match the roster fields.

Tip To remove the Custom Fields that are not in use highlight and click . The fields are deleted only from the list and not from your original file.

17. Use the arrows to the right of the Roster Field column to line up the Roster Fields with the Custom Fields. The Roster Fields with asterisks must have a match with a Custom Field.

Click on the Finish button to exit the Import Roster Wizard.


Global Preferences Response offers many ways to customize System, Backup, Gradebooks, the Response area, Charting and Directories. Each area of customization can be found under Global Preferences.

1. Navigate to Manage My Data > Edit.

2. Select Global Preferences from the drop down list.

System

Customize the following System settings: Font You can change the size of the Session Toolbar Font by clicking on the increase and decrease buttons. This will affect the size of the numeric characters of the Timer, Response Counter, and the Joined Counter and the alphanumeric characters in the class Name and Join Code. It will not affect the display of the information on the Session Status Bar.

Language Response supports 48 different languages, including English. If your System Language setting is one of the supported languages, Response will display in that language by default. If you want to view the list of supported languages or choose a specific language from the list, clear the Use System Language checkbox to activate the language list. Scroll the list and click on your language preference to select it.

Customer Information The Customer ID is a value used in an IR installation, where each of the IR Student Response Pads in a Class Pack are programmed with a unique ID that is recognized by only one PRS Response system - the system whose Customer ID matches the one that was used to program the IR Student Response Pads. Note If you changed any of these System settings and you want to change one of them

back to the original setting, click on the associated Set To Default button.


Backup Preferences

Response creates a copy, referred to as a Backup, of your database whenever the database is opened. This setting screen allows you to establish: where you want the backup to be located and how many copies of the database are to be saved before Response overwrites them. Backup Directory By default, the Backup directory is designated as the Response/backup folder. We strongly recommend that you change the Backup directory to a location on your network, or to a thumb drive. Number of Backups The default number of backups, the rollover cycle, is 5. This means that five separate copies will be made of your database before it is overwritten. In the backup directory you designate, if you have a database named Default.prs, the first backup will be named Default_1.prs, the second Default_2.prs, the third Default_3.prs, and so on. The number of backup copies you designate for your rollover cycle may depend on the amount of space you have available for their storage. When to Backup By default when you start Response it automatically creates a copy of this database. You can specify to create a backup file when the software opens or closes. If you select another database, Response opens it and automatically creates a backup copy of the newly opened database. What do I do if I lose my database? If you lose your database, or it becomes corrupted, copy the latest backup into your Response/database folder. Startup Response and click on the Open button. Navigate to where you copied the backup database, select it, and click on the Open button. Response will switch to the newly restored database.


Gradebook Preferences

Use this section to indicate your preferences for the configuration of the gradebooks for your classes. Specify whether you want letter or number grades and how many grade levels you prefer. For each grade level you can define a plus and a minus value and, if you really want to get creative, a color to make it easy to see at a glance how the class is doing.

Response Area Preferences

The Response Area can be set up to display when you are collecting responses during a session. It provides a visual way to track and identify the students who are participating in the session and to verify their responses have been received. The Response Area can display as an Attendee List, or as a Response Grid. You can set up both and toggle between the two. Displaying the Response Area is optional. It is typically used in an environment where IR Student Response Pads and/or Crickets are being used.

Chart Preferences

Response Colors: Different colors are used to visually identify the breakdown of answers as Correct, Incorrect, or Invalid. Each color category shows the actual color assignment and its RGB formula. Click on the Set to Default button to reassign the original color selections. Confidence Colors Students can attach a Confidence Level Indicator to their answers. This will inform the instructor how confident the student is about their answer. The Pads use a 1-9 scale. Chart Fonts These preference settings refer to the text at the top of the chart and to the numbers that identify the X and Y axis coordinates. Chart Colors This option will allow you to change the background color of the response chart.


Directories Preferences

These settings indicate your preference regarding data sharing and the preferred location for your exported rosters and sessions. Data Sharing If you want to share your data and make it available to others who use the computer, click on the checkbox. The Response directories will be re-created in the Program Files directory, which is an open access directory that is available to all who have access on the computer. Export Indicate the location you want your Roster, Session and Lesson exports to default to.

Response for PowerPoint

Overview

This section is designed for the beginner who has completed module one to set up a database and classes as well as module two on creating Impromptu lessons in the Participation, Self-Paced, and Homework mode. You will learn how to use the PowerPoint Add-in to create question slides in PowerPoint.

Purpose


• Setup the PowerPoint Add-in. • Create different types of Response questions in PowerPoint. • Administer a PowerPoint session.


Install PowerPoint Add-in

Response provides a PowerPoint integration that can transform your existing PowerPoint slides into Response questions with the click of a button. Once you install Response on your Windows system, the PowerPoint Add-in toolbar is automatically added to your PowerPoint (version 2000 or newer).

In case you don’t find it here, look in your list of toolbars and make sure it’s checked off (PowerPoint 2003 and earlier).

If you have followed the above steps and still don’t see the Response toolbar, you will need to install the add-in by accessing it through your Start Menu or Applications folder: eInstruction > Response > RegisterAddIn. Click, Install If at any time you wish to uninstall the Response Toolbar from PowerPoint, Start Menu or Applications folder: eInstruction > Response > RegisterAddIn. Click, Uninstall.


Install PowerPoint Add-in (Mac) Note Once the Add-in is loaded it will remain resident in PowerPoint, until you un-install it.

1. Launch PowerPoint.

2. Click on the PowerPoint option from the menu-bar, and then click on Preferences.

6. Click OK.

7. The Response PowerPoint Addin will appear either with the other toolbars or along the left hand side of the screen.


Creating Response Questions from PowerPoint slides

As mentioned earlier, Response questions can be created by converting any existing PowerPoint slides or by creating New Question Slides and setting the parameters on them. The different question types that are available are True/False, Multiple Choice, Series, Short Answer, Numeric, and Essay Questions. We will be creating a separate question slide for each Question Type. You can only include one question per PowerPoint slide if you’re using the PowerPoint Add-in. Sample Questions: Most of the world’s water is saline.

True * False

French is the official language in which of the following countries? (select all that apply) a. Haiti * b. Equatorial Guinea c. Guinea * d. Mauritania

Put the following movies in order. Answer: CABD a. Rocky b. Rain Man c. The Godfather d. Dances with Wolves

What is the 4th planet from the sun? Answer: MARS

What’s a number between 1/4 and 1/3 in decimal form? Answer: Any number between 0.26 and 0.32

Insert the questions

1. Open a new PowerPoint Presentation.

2. Type each question on a separate slide. With each slide, try adding some graphics, changing the background color, or adding some animation.

See sample question slides below:


3. After designing your slides, go back to the first slide and click in the Response Add-in toolbar. The following dialog box appears.

4. Set the question parameters, such as question type, number of choices and correct response.

5. Click OK to save your settings. When you return to your PowerPoint slide, you will see that the Response icon has been added to the page.

6. Repeat steps 3-5 for every slide.

Editing Questions

1. If you need to increase the Time or change Answer Choices from letters to numbers, click on .

Deleting Questions If you accidentally inserted a question into the wrong slide, you may delete the Response question by clicking on .


Starting a PowerPoint Session

If you are using PowerPoint to present your questions, it is very important that you follow this procedure in preparation for your session. We recommend you launch Response first and start a new session and have your student’s join the RF class prior to starting you PowerPoint show.

1. Click on the Collect Responses button to display the Collect Responses - New Session dialog.

2. Select the Class.

3. Select the Subject/Section, if appropriate.

4. Select the Lesson Type

6. Have the students join the class using the Join Code displayed in angle brackets on the yellow RF Status Bar.

7. Start your PowerPoint presentation. When you start your PowerPoint lecture slide show, Response detects the presence of question slides in the slide show and automatically switches the session into PowerPoint Mode.

8. To advance questions, you simply advance the PowerPoint slide as you normally would. Each slide that has a Response question will maximize the Session Toolbar. If there are no Response Questions on a slide, the Session Toolbar will be minimized.

9. When you are finished with your PowerPoint lesson, you can either exit out of slide show mode or click on the End Session button from the session toolbar.

10. To view your session data click on the Manage My Data button from the Response main screen.
