Configuring Clickers

Depending on your requirements, the PRS RF clicker may need to be configured.Only PRS RF clickers can be configured. By default, PRS RF clickers are configuredas Normal.

Normal

Factory default Generally used in a university setting when the student owns the clicker or

when the clicker 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 PRS RF clicker's memory and is transmitted with each answer toensure the student receives credit for the response.

Loaner

Requires initial configuration Typically used when the school owns the clickers and multiple classes sharethe clickers

Because the students share the clickers, the student IDs are not rememberedby the clicker and therefore it prompts for the student ID each time it ispowered on.

Also may also be used in case a student forgets to bring their clicker to class.

Instructor

Requires initial configuration The Instructor clicker is used by the teacher to send commands to the

session and to remotely control it from anywhere in the room

Check for UnderstandingBased on the information above, which configuration best meets your classroomneeds and why?

overwrites them

Backup Directory: By default, theBackup directory is designated as theInterwrite Response/backupfolder. We strongly recommend thatyou change the Backup directory to alocation on your network, or to athumb drive.

Number of Backups: The defaultnumber of backups, the rollover cycle,is 5. This means that five separatecopies will be made of your database before it is overwritten. In the backupdirectory you designate, if you have a database named Default.prs, the firstbackup will be named Default_1.prs, the second Default_2.prs, the thirdDefault_3.prs, and so on. The number of backup copies you designate for yourrollover cycle may depend on the amount of space you have available for theirstorage.

When to Backup: By Default when you start Respomse it automaticallycreates a copy of this database. You can specify to create a back up file whenthe software opens or closes. If you select another database, Response opens itand 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 becomescorrupted, copy the latest backup into your Interwrite Response/databasefolder. Start up Response and click on the Open button. Navigate to where you

visual way to track and identify thestudents who are participating in thesession and to verify their responseshave been received. The Response Areacan display as an Attendee List, or as aResponse Grid. You can set up both andtoggle between the two. Displaying theResponse Area is optional. It is typicallyused in an environment where IR clickersand/or Crickets are being used.
