Classroom voting system (EVS)

Using wireless handsets, students can answer questions and record their responses with a simple click of a button on keypads.

You will be provided with student handsets (there are two types available at the university), and a USB receiver. These come in bags containing either 50 (simple) or 30 (complex) handsets and a receiver. Each receiver is capable of taking up to 300 handset responses at the same time.

This system has two key advantages:

• It actively engages students during lectures/tutorials as they are required to answer questions.
• The lecturer receives instant feedback as to how well the students understand the subject

The RF EVS equipment is booked by reserving sets of handsets through Central Room Bookings (CRB) via the  online booking form.
