The Class
in the IR
Environment
Class Info Section
Class Type Section
The Class identifies and names a group of students. The Class definition
addresses three different aspects of the PRS Class: 1) Class Name and Type,
2) the Response Map, which assigns each student a fixed position in the
Response Grid, and 3) default settings for the Response Grid and Results
Chart that will display when this Class participates in a Session. In the IR
environment, the Class Roster is an important part of the Class definition.
When a Response is sent from an IR Clicker to the IR Receiver, the Clicker ID
is attached to the Response. The Class Roster, described at the end of this
chapter, links the Clicker ID to the student's name and Student ID, ensuring
that the transmitted Response will be credited to that student.
Click on the New Class Function Button to display the following dialog
where you can set up your IR Class.
The Class Name is derived from the first six characters entered in the
Course/Instructor field and the first four characters entered in the
Section/Location field. It cannot be edited.
Select the IR Clicker Type from the drop-down list.

The rest of the options in this section will disappear when the IR Clicker Type
is selected, as they are relevant only in an RF environment.
