response system, your PowerPoint

Why Use a
Student Response System?
• Engage students in active
learning.
• Encourage students' critical thought
processes requiring synthesis of
knowledge by providing them a way
to answer questions.
• Improve class attendance and student participation.
• Encourage student preparation prior to class (reading of
class materials).
• Quickly determine whether homework or reading
assignments have been completed before the class.
Why Use a
Student Response System?
• Improve instructor understanding of students'
comprehension of curriculum.
• Provide students with immediate feedback about the
accuracy of their understanding of the curriculum.
• Provide instructor with instant feedback of students'
understanding of concepts and content knowledge.
• Provide instructors with the ability to customize
instruction based on student responses.
• Use analysis of student responses as the basis for
class discussion.

suitable for all students. Meet the needs of diverse
learning styles in large general education classes.
• Track student progress toward academic standards.
Channel Setting Instructions for ResponseCard RF
Please press and hold both the GO Key and the "?" Key for
a few seconds.

matching is in progress.
A green light indicates a successful match, while a red light
indicates a failure, and that you should try again.
Setting the correct channel on the
PRS Responders

the response devices is simple:
