Create a new Class

From the Interwrite Response Startup Screen

  1. Create a new database for your course by clicking on New next to the Database field under the Select Database section.
  2. Enter a name for the class (ie. Anthropology for all your anthropology courses) and select the directory (location) for this new database. Click OK. Databases keep track of all your data (classes, sessions, grades) in one easily transferable file (with a .prs file extension))
  3. Click the Create a New Class button on the splash page.
  4. On the Class Information Page: Enter a class name for the course in the database. This name is for tracking data only.

    Note: The only revised fields are those with a little red stop sign (red circle with white X) under them.
  5. Subjects/Sections Page: Disregard this page, it is only useful for courses with multiple optional lectures throughout the day or multiple subjects in a single session (K-12 school type education)
  6. Select Clicker Type(s): Cick and select the first clicker type (the gray silver rectangle)
  7. PRS RF Setup: Enter a broadcast name (the course name that will appear on the clickers); there is a maximum of 10 characters. Leave the System Type field on "Normal". Make this name as specific as possible, in case there are other classes using PRS in nearby classrooms.
  8. Create Roster: You can skip this step if you plan on entering students by adding them through their clicker ID or you can import the roster from SPARK. (See PRS Guide on Creating Roster)
  9. To locate your class Click on the Manage My Data button on the splash screen. You should now see your newly created class under the Classes tab.

    Note: There is another class under the Classes tab named "My Class". This is the default class with every new Database that you create. It is best to delete this class so that you don't get confused.
