Create Response
Map Function
If the size of your Class is likely to fluctuate from one
Session to the next, add more Rows and/or Columns to
the Response Map than indicated by the size of the
Class Roster. Additional students can then be easily
accommodated when they show up for a Session. If you
haven't set up enough Response Boxes in the Response
Grid, and the Response Map hasn't been set to cycle in
the Grid Settings section, when the Response Grid is full,
additional Responses will be ignored.
Click on the Create Response Map button below the Response Map List
Window to display the Create Response Map Choose Type dialog.
You have three options:
Use Roster, Random via Responses, or
Sequential via Responses. The Use Roster
option allows you to create a Response
Map directly from the Roster associated
with this Class definition. The order of
assignment in the Response Map is based on the order in which the
students are listed in the Roster. When you select this option and click
on the Next button, the Response Map List Window is populated with
information extracted from the Roster, the Rows and Columns fields are
automatically calculated based on the size of the Roster, and the Re-
sponseMap directory displays. Name the new Response Map and save
it. The name and path to the newly created Response Map is displayed
in the Response Map field above the Response Map List Window. Add
more Rows and Columns if you either expect more students, or plan to
run test Sessions and use Key Input (Chapter One, PRS Menus, Connec-
tion Menu) to simulate Response transmissions.
Sequential and Random Response Maps
Both the Sequential via Responses option and the Random via Responses
option require the registration of the IR Clickers. Sequential registration
allows you to register students in the Response Map in a specific order,
while Random registration assigns the next position in the Response
Map to the next signal received. The end result of the three types of
Response Map creation is the same; each student occupies a specific,
assigned position on the Response Map.
