After your qbase is created - remember that the qbase is your set of questions to use - the session is the actual polling of the set of questions and where results will be stored for reporting.
|
| |
Step 1: |
In wInquiry, left click on the project folder (yellow folder) which contains the qbase/set of questions that you will be using for your presentation. |
| |
Step 2: |
Right-click to see the list of options. Select 'New Session' to create a new session (presentation/polling/results saving). |
| |
Step 3: |
Enter a name for the session that will be meaningful for your results (e.g.: Sales Training Team One 12-15-01) and left click the OK button. |
| |
Step 4: |
Input information about the session if desired. Required field is qbase. Left click in the qbase field and it will provide you with the list of qbases in your project folder from which you have to choose. Select the qbase you will use for this session and click the OK button.
|
| |
Note: |
If you are going to be using the dual polling feature - allowing two people to share a keypad, you will also need to click in the check box at the bottom right of the session information labeled dual poll. Once you begin the session as dual poll, you can not switch back. You will need to create another new session.
|
| |
Step 5: |
At this point you can either hit the save button to save the information and run the session later, or you can begin the session by clicking on the "Begin a New Session" button.
|
| |
Step 6: |
Once a New Session Begins, the Logo Screen designated under the qbase preferences as Logo 1 will display. If no logo screen is indicated, the primary color under the background displays - usually black.
|
| |
Step 7: |
To poll each question, hit the Enter key (single or dual screen mode) or Proceed button (dual screen mode) to display the first question.
|
| |
Step 8: |
Moderator should read the question and possible answer choices aloud. |
| |
Step 9: |
Start the countdown timer/polling period by hitting the enter key or poll button. Countdown is ended by the timer, end of avi file or ESC key being hit by the operator for infinite polls.
|
| |
Note: |
Monitor results coming in by using the "KP monitoring" and/or "Live Tally" during the session. KP monitoring allows the operator only (in dual screen mode) to review # of keypads responding. Live Tally displays the number of keypads responding in the bottom left corner.
|
| |
Step 10: |
Usually, graphic results are displayed - depending on how your qbase is set up, this may be automatic or may require a keystroke. Graphic results are optional and may be surpressed with a checkbox on your edit qbase page for each question. Also depending on how your qbase is set-up, you may be highlighting a correct answer prior to showing graphic results.
|
| |
Step 11: |
Advance through the session with the enter key or proceed button to the end of session. To end the session, hit the done button (dual screen mode) or CTRL-X (single screen mode) to end the session.
|
| |
TIPS: |
Quick keyboard commands when in single screen mode. Review help file - search for keyboard
Use Q key or right and left arrow keys on keyboard to advance or go back a question.
G to Re-display a graph if you hit Enter before they are done reviewing
ALT-B and G to change display from % to tally and back again.
|
| |
Note: |
After rehearsing with your presenter, create a new session to prepare to run polls and save results for the actual event. Don't forget to proof and test all content and software settings - order of questions, number of choices, correct choice, spelling, question weight, etc.
