Location of handsets

The number of handsets available is not enough to equip more than a small proportion of the teaching spaces in the University and so to provide the maximum flexibility, the equipment has been deployed to a range of buildings geographically distributed across the campus.

The RF handsets are of two types:

simple dealing with questions producing integer answers 1-6, choices A-E or True/False answers; (e.g. rating scales, multiple choice or yes/no)

complex dealing with the same type of questions as the simple handsets, but also being able to handle non-integer numeric responses. (as above but also the results of calculation, etc.)

The software that allows the receivers to be plugged into USB slots in computers and that integrates questioning within PowerPoint presentations has been installed on the computers that are now part of the infrastructure in the teaching rooms in most buildings. This software may also be downloaded from the Learning and Teaching Centre Web Site (see URL under 'Further Information' above)

The RF handsets and receivers are contained in carry bags at the janitors' desks in each of the following buildings:-
