How it works
The Senteo interactive response system is designed to enhance interactive
teaching and learning. With it, you display or speak prepared or ad hoc
questions, students anonymously key in answers with their remote, and responses
are tallied, then displayed on a projection screen or interactive whiteboard.
Tallying and displaying results occurs immediately.
To assess student understanding, you can use a variety of question types,
including true or false, multiple choice, numeric response and
more-than-one-right-answer. Decimals, fractions and negative numbers can also be
incorporated into questions and answers.
Flexible assessment
The system allows frequent questioning and feedback, which engages students more
actively in the material being studied. When the data is used to provide
relevant in-class feedback, and to adjust instruction according to identified
needs, then large gains in student understanding can be achieved. Feedback can
be displayed in a bar graph or pie chart that statistically summarizes the
student responses.
Anonymity
Students send their responses privately, so they are free to answer without
feeling judged by peers.
Dynamic content
Notebook whiteboarding software can be used to create questions and tests that
embed pictures, sound, video and Flash files from the Gallery. Notebook software
comes with the system.
