42 Classes – IR Class Response Map
Response Map
Tab
Before you can set up a Response Map, you must have a Class
Roster linked to this new Class definition. Go to the Class Roster
section at the end of this chapter. Return here when you are
ready to continue with the Class definition.
The Class Response Map provides a way of mapping each student listed in the
Class Roster to a permanent location in a Response Grid. It is a virtual seating
chart. The Response Grid is displayed in the Response Area below the Ques-
tion and Response Choices. In a PRS PowerPoint Lesson Session, the Response
Grid can be sized and moved to any location over the Question Slide.
When a Response Map is not defined, Responses are posted to the Response
Grid in the order received. An individual's Response will rarely show up in the
same place in the Response Grid from one Question to the next. Large groups
of students will find it difficult to track and verify their Response transmissions if
a Response Map is not in place. When a student has been assigned a perma-
nent position in the Response Grid by means of a Response Map, he has only
one place to look to verify that his Response has been transmitted, received
and recorded.
A Response Map can be imported or created. Created Response Maps can be
derived either by using the Class Roster to populate the Map, or by having
students register for the Response Map by pressing a key on their IR Clickers
when requested to do so. A Response Map can be updated when respondents
not currently included in the Response Map attend a Session. Their responses
will show up at the end of the Response Grid, assuming there are additional,
empty Response Boxes in the grid. You will be prompted to save the Response
Map with the new registrations.
