Copyright © 2008 -2010 All Rights Reserved by QOMO HiteVision. www.qomo.com 4 Part 1. QRF700 ARS Overview Thank you for purchasing the QRF700 Audience Response System (ARS). The QRF700 ARS incorporates 2.4G RF technology to receive instant feedback from all of the participants (up to 1,000 persons) simultaneously. Working completely out of Microsoft PowerPoint, the QClick software is easy to learn and easy to use. The student clicker also displays the question being asked on its own screen. Both the questions and answers can be easily and quickly created using built-in PowerPoint templates. You can use hardcopy tests and have your students answer using the QClick. The QClick’s Free Style activity mode allows instructors to begin quizzes without any pre planning. Questions can be instantly captured from your PC, the internet, an interactive White Board, document camera, or from a lecture. The QClick software has a built-in white board tool allowing you to draw and capture quiz materials easily. The QClick system is composed of instructor remote keypad, participants’ remote keypads, RF main receiver, USB extension cable; and QClick software. The instructor keypad incorporates a remote mouse and some PC keyboard functions allowing control of the slide selection as well as other software functions. With the remote mouse functionality the teacher controller gives the instructor the freedom of not having to use a computer to conduct the tests. The QRF700 allows the instructor to display instant test results in the form of a histogram and a score board after each question is completed. The QRF700 instructor keypad displays up to 10 lines in the color LCD display and equipped with a big non-volatile memory to store the setting and the question contents and answers. The student keypad displays up to 4 lines big font display and support True or False and short answer format answers, in addition, it also support full alphabet-numeric inputs. Both the student and instructor keypads can be used in any class by simply logging into a class and then offer the ability to register for the class. The QClick keypad also allows a student to ask a question by directly communicating to the instructor with one single key press. At the same time, an instructor can view each student’s exam performances and the exam statistical data on the remote LCD display without showing the student’s exam information with others. The non-volatile memory in the student remote keypad can store a whole semester’s homework and exam answers. Students can use the keypads to receive, complete and turn in homework assignments in the class with just a simple key press. Each student keypad has one unique Student ID which can be easily set and reset by a manager or by a user. If a student keypad is lost or damaged, it can be replaced by resetting the Student ID on a new or existing QClick 700 student keypad. The QRF700 ARS engages students and displays critical information to instructors instantly. Note: The words Quiz and Exam are used interchangeably in many places in this document.

The quiz file may either be in the PowerPoint format with the embedded answers or not in PowerPoint format, then the answer sheet file must be provided. The instructor controls the pace of the question answering.
Copyright © 2008 -2010 All Rights Reserved by QOMO HiteVision. www.qomo.com 18 2.1.2.2 Paper Quiz: Using the Paper Quiz, no quiz file is necessary. The questions are displayed on hardcopy paper. However, the answer sheet associated with the paper quiz must be loaded prior to starting the session. Once the Paper Quiz has started, the instructor can set up a time limit which will be displayed on the bottom of the tool bar. Registered students will receive the quiz information in their keypad. The quiz title, quiz ID and question frame or the question contents（under Offsite mode） are automatically received by the student keypads. The students need to hit the Left Soft Key to access the paper quiz broadcast information into their keypad. The students start to answer the questions in their keypad. The quiz pace is controlled by the individual student. When the paper quiz is completed by the students, the students can directly submit their whole quiz answers without waiting for the other students to finish the test. Note: If you choose to send the question contents to the student clicker, simply press either the button “F1” Send Question on the status tool bar in the bottom screen window or the F1 key on the teacher remote keypad. 2.1.2.3 Homework: The Homework activity allows the instructor to send homework question frames or question contents to the student clickers allowing the students to take their homework questions to complete away from the classroom. The homework answers are received from the student clicker and the answers are either embedded in the PowerPoint file or in the answer sheet. These files should be loaded prior to starting the homework session. The homework title from the answer sheet or from the PowerPoint file name and the test ID created by the system or set up in the Title window (refer to session 2.1.1.5 Title) are used for tracking the reports in the system database. They are also used for the homework searching in the student clickers. There is no time limit for the Homework activity. Note: The Homework Mode is running in a state either assigning (Sending) or receiving. When the current homework session is running but before the Start button is pressed or pressed again, the homework session stays in the state of assigning (Sending Homework). Pressing the Start button will trigger the Homework mode switching from the state of assigning (Sending Homework) to the state of Receiving. Note: If you choose to send the question contents to the student clicker, simply press either the button “F1” Send Question on the status tool bar in the bottom screen window or the F1 key on the teacher remote keypad. 2.1.2.4 Rush Quiz: This mode is similar to the normal mode.

The time for the response is preset before the test by the instructor. Points can be added for a correct answer or subtracted for a wrong answer.
Copyright © 2008 -2010 All Rights Reserved by QOMO HiteVision. www.qomo.com 19 2.1.2.5 Elimination: This mode is similar to the normal mode. But in this mode, only those students who answer correctly in the previous question can move on to the current question answering. Those answering incorrectly are automatically eliminated. 2.1.2.6 Multiple Mode: The Multiple Mode activity combines the Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination in one quiz session. The loaded quiz file or answer sheet contains the mode activity information in each question set up. If you choose the Multiple Mode as your quiz session activity mode, the system automatically selects the activity mode for the current quiz question based on what activity mode the system reads from the embedded mode set up for each question in the quiz file or in the answer sheet. If a loaded quiz file or a loaded answer sheet contains questions with multiple modes set up, but you use Normal Quiz, or Rush Quiz, or Elimination as the whole quiz session activity mode, the activity mode you select will overwrite the embedded mode set up in each question. For example, if you select the Normal Quiz as your current quiz session activity mode, but the current question mode is set to Rush Quiz, the system will ignore the Rush Quiz activity mode and use the Normal Quiz as the whole quiz session activity mode. 2.1.2.7 Survey: The Survey activity is used for subjective response.

You may choose to load a PowerPoint file with the weight information embedded in the file as your survey test. If you choose to use non-PowerPoint, then answer sheets with the item weight information associated with the survey file should be loaded prior to starting the survey activity. The responses from the audiences are used to evaluate the survey questions; there are no correct or incorrect answers related to the responses. 2.1.2.8 Vote: The Vote activity mode is similar to the Survey activity mode. The audience responses contain no correct or incorrect answer information. When you select the Vote activity mode, the system allows you to only load the vote file in PowerPoint format. No answer sheet is needed. In this activity mode, the audience’s response is either a positive or a negative with no correct answer. 2.1.2.9 Roll Call: The Roll Call mode allows the instructor to take attendance. When you select the Roll Call activity mode, the system won’t ask you to load in any quiz files or any answer sheets prior to starting the Roll Call activity. The roll call result can be saved into the system database as a part of the permanent file, or it can be viewed immediately after the activity.
