The Senteo interactive response system provides a direct wireless connection between you and your students. Now you no longer have to wonder if students understand what you’ve taught them. They can tell you with the click of a button.

The Senteo system includes a radio frequency (RF) remote for each student in your class, a central receiver, Notebook whiteboarding software and Senteo assessment software, which tallies student responses, records attendance, posts test results and provides individual feedback.

How it works

The Senteo interactive response system is designed to enhance interactive teaching and learning. With it, you display or speak prepared or ad hoc questions, students anonymously key in answers with their remote, and responses are tallied, then displayed on a projection screen or interactive whiteboard. Tallying and displaying results occurs immediately.

To assess student understanding, you can use a variety of question types, 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.


Flexible assessment

The system allows frequent questioning and feedback, which engages 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 the student responses.


Anonymity
Students send their responses privately, so they are free to answer without feeling judged by peers.


Dynamic content
Notebook whiteboarding software can be used to create questions and tests that embed pictures, sound, video and Flash files from the Gallery. Notebook software comes with the system.

 
 
Features - SMART Senteo
 
 

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.
