Remote
Radio frequency
(RF) technology
Radio frequency, or RF, remotes make it easy to transmit
questions and answers because the broadcast is stable
and remotes do not require a line of sight with the
receiver. Remotes have a range of up to 100’ (30
m).
Ergonomic
design
Designed to fit comfortably in young hands or lie flat
on a desk, the remote has 21 input buttons that make
responding to questions quick and easy.
LCD screen
The LCD screen is easy to read and has room to display
three lines of text. Students can scroll through questions
and find out instantly if their responses have been
sent.
Descriptive
icons
Icons on the LCD screen allow students to monitor the
battery power and network status of their remote.
Extended
battery life
Each remote uses two long-lasting AA batteries.
Receiver
Easy connection
The receiver hooks up via USB to a computer and doesn’t
need an additional power adaptor.
Flexible
installation
Weighing just under 6 oz. (165 g) and measuring 4 3/4"
W × 7/8" H × 2 1/4" D (12 cm ×
2.2 cm × 5.7 cm), the receiver can be easily mounted
on a wall or placed on a desk or table.
Status
features
LED lights indicate power status and whether information
is being sent or received.
Software
Flexible
assessment
Benefit from frequent opportunities for questioning
and feedback, which can engage 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 student responses.
Formative and summative
assessments are a critical part of teaching. The Senteo
system allows you to conduct these assessments more
frequently because of the speed with which the results
can be collected, tallied and returned to students.
It also helps you record and track the progress of each
student over the whole school year.
Anonymity
Students send their responses privately. The system
logs each response according to an assigned number for
the remote. You are the only one who knows which student
has which number, so students are free to answer without
feeling judged by peers.
Dynamic
content
Use Notebook whiteboarding software to create questions
and tests that embed pictures, sound, video and Flash
files from the Gallery. Notebook software comes with
the system.
Instant,
measurable results
Pose questions and receive responses instantly from
within Notebook software. When finished, you can easily
export the results of any graded material to your grading
or spreadsheet software.
Question
variety
Ask different types of questions, 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.
File import
and export
Import or export files with ease. The Senteo system
is fully compatible with Microsoft applications, such
as Microsoft Word, Excel spreadsheet software and PowerPoint
presentation software.
Flexible package options
Choose the right package for your needs.
The Senteo system includes a receiver, a package of
24 or 32 remotes, Senteo assessment software and Notebook
whiteboarding software. Additional remotes can also
be ordered separately.

OS operating systems can take full advantage of the
Senteo interactive response system.
