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. 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.

Part 2. Software

Software Overview

The QClick Software has 4 main sections: Quiz Genius, Exam Editor, Reports and
Settings.

selection of the slide question answers. It can also be used for creating and editing
answer sheets for examinations without using PowerPoint files.

The Reports session allows you to query or modify quiz session data results, grade tests
and generate the student performance reports. It also allows you to create the student
session data not obtained from using the QClick hardware system. The Reports session
is also used for generating the course grade books and the final report cards.

keypads which store the quiz information. For example, the student keypad may store the
homework questions to complete at home. The title and test ID help locate the homework.
Once a quiz file or an answer sheet is loaded into the system, the associated file name is
copied and saved to the quiz title name area and the test ID is embedded into the quiz or

the answer sheet file in the system. If a quiz or an answer sheet file is loaded into the
system for the first time, and there is no test ID embedded in the file, the QClick system
will automatically assign a test ID and save it to the file for the associated quiz. The test ID
number is recorded by increasing by one every time the system uses the test ID number
to save it to the file. The valid test ID number is 1 to 9999. When the maximum number

9999 reaches, the system will reset the number to 1. You may click the Title button
to display the Set Test ID window and change the test ID number you desire to set and/or

The QClick system has 9 activity modes: Normal Quiz, Paper Quiz, Homework, Rush
Quiz, Elimination, Multiple Mode, Survey, Vote, and Roll Call. Using the free style

selection, there are 3 activity modes: Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and Elimination.

2.1.2.1 Normal Quiz:

In the Normal Quiz, a quiz file must be provided with the correct answer for each question
prior to starting the quiz. The quiz file may either be in the PowerPoint format with the
embedded answers. If a different format other than PowerPoint is used, then the answer
sheet file must be provided. The instructor controls the pace of the questions being
answered.

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 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.

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.

2.1.2.4 Rush Quiz:

This mode is similar to the normal mode; however, in this mode the first student who
presses any effective “Rush Quiz” button locks out the rest of the students from
answering and is the only person able to respond to this particular question. 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.

2.1.2.5 Elimination:

This mode is similar to the normal mode; but in this mode only those students who answer
correctly can move on to the next question. Those answering incorrectly are automatically
eliminated.

2.1.2.6 Multiple Modes:

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 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 select the Normal Quiz, or
Rush Quiz, or Elimination for the entire 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 for the entire quiz session activity mode.

2.1.2.7 Survey:

The Survey activity is used for subjective responses. The QClick system collects the
survey responses and provides a report of the survey results. You may use the system
Exam Editor to create a survey file. A set of value points from high to low is assigned to
the items, which are used as the numeric evaluation of the survey, and they will also be
used in the system reporting. You may choose to load a PowerPoint file with the weight
information embedded in the file as your survey test. If you do not choose to use
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 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.

2.1.2.10 Free Style Normal/Rush/Elimination:

The QClick system uses the Free Style option for the Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz and
Elimination activity mode. The Free Style option allows the instructor to start a quiz

session without loading a prepared quiz file or an answer sheet. The quiz question
information could be the captured images from the computer or from the internet or from a
third party software application. The question information could also be verbal questions
while using a white board or just oral questioning. The correct answers to these questions
can be provided either after each question is answered or after the whole quiz session is
completed. The main advantage of Free Style is ease of use, no prepared materials, and
instant engagement of the students. Additionally, all of the student quiz performance data
conducted in this Free Style mode can be stored in the report section and may become a
part of the grade book.

To use the Free Style option, follow these steps:

1. Under the Quiz Genius tab window, check the Free Style check box to select the
Free Style option.

2. Select the Normal Quiz, Rush Quiz or Elimination activity mode from the Activity

Mode drop-down list.

3. Click the Run button to start the Free Style activity mode.
