QOMO ARS Overview

Thank you for purchasing the QOMO Audience Response System (ARS). The QOMO Audience Response System is user friendly and it provides instant feedback from all of the participants (up to 1,000 persons). Working with Microsoft PowerPoint, the QClick software is easy to learn and easy to use. Some of the student clickers display the question being asked on its own screen. Both the questions and the answers can be easily and quickly created using built-in PowerPoint templates; or by using existing PowerPoint presentations. Furthermore, you can use hardcopy tests and have your students answer using QClick. The QClick’s Instant Questions setting allows instructors to add questions during the test.

The system is composed of hardware (instructor keypad, student keypad, RF receiver, etc.) and software.

With multiple question type selections—Multiple Choice, Short Answer, and True/False—QOMO ARS encourages the participants to be involved in various activities—Normal, Rush, and

Vote/Survey—and combines them in one quiz session. Generally, Normal Quiz, Elimination, Homework, and Paper Quiz are used to conduct the tests.

The instructor keypad incorporates a remote mouse and some PC keyboard functions allowing control of the slide selection as well as other software functions. The remote mouse functionality of the keypad gives the instructor the freedom of not having to use a computer to conduct the tests. The QOMO ARS allows the instructor to display instant test results in the form of a histogram and a score board after each question is completed.
