Have
an unlimited funding source for your training hardware and software?
Then DEC Software's Respond! is not for you. Typical audience response
systems can cost from thousands of dollars to tens of thousands
of dollars. DEC Software has developed an audience response system
that can be put in place for less than $100 (final price for a one-user
license has not been determined yet).

No,
it won't do a chi square test on your data* and it won't reveal
when your null hypothesis is true, but it will allow small groups
to interact with instructors, providing feedback AND keeping interest
levels high. |

*You thought we were kidding? A chi-square
test is any statistical hypothesis test in which the test statistic
has a chi-square distribution when the null hypothesis is true,
or any in which the probability distribution of the test statistic
(assuming the null hypothesis is true) can be made to approximate
a chi-square distribution as closely as desired by making the sample
size large enough. |
** Computers must be running Windows XP
or newer. |
*** Many of the functions in Classroom
Feud and The Ultimate Quizshow were suggested by our clients and
implemented in our software. |
****OK, we ARE just kidding about this! |
