Qwizdom voting systems for schools and colleges, save hours of teacher time marking work, give instant assessment as to how pupils are performing and, with attendance registration, helps with truancy, as pupils attendance can be monitored in every class at every lesson, with instant feedback assessment reports.
Imagine, as a teacher, you are able to display a set of National Curriculum questions on a projector screen, large plasma screen, monitor display or interactive whiteboard, and let your pupils have the fun of answering them in “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?” quiz show style. With an interactive voting system, each pupil can have their own handheld voting device so they can simply answer the questions from a multiple choice of answers. This encourages even the most shy pupil to “have a go” and join in a class interactivity lesson.
Truancy is a big problem in some schools, with pupils getting an attendance mark and then bunking-off lessons. With Qwizdom you can take class attendance in every classroom, at every lesson. The system then instantly reports on numbers and percentages of pupils in lessons and instant reports can be presented to school heads, school governors and LEAs, with accurate figures.
Curriculum questions Another big advantage, is that more educational book suppliers are providing their curriculum questions in digital format, which can be imported into the voting system, thus saving time. Also, lessons are not only interactive, but save the teachers hours and hours of marking and assessing, leaving more time for quality teaching.

Qwizdom interactive voting systems bring interactivity to the classroom and university lecture halls, in a fun and education way. The teacher or lecturer, using their teacher remote, asks the class questions which take the form of quizzes, quick tests to check understanding, mock exam questions, multiple choice questions, yes or no, true or false. Answers are given on individual handsets. Scoring and instant assessment is available, which can be shown on the screen in a fun way, such as a car track, making learning fun for younger pupils.
At any stage you can obtain instant feedback or change focus to review areas. The system frees teachers from time-consuming marking leaving them more time to spend explaining those areas where pupils scored incorrect answers, or if marking is normally done in free periods, leaving this time to be spent on lesson preparation.
Qwizdom system, includes a teacher remote, individual handsets, receiver, USB cable and carry case. Each infra-red handset connects wirelessly to a central voting system (one manufacturer’s system looks a little like a flying saucer – second picture from the left), where it instantly marks and analyses the answers. The central voting system is connected to your PC, which in turn is connected to your projector, interactive whiteboard, monitor or plasma display screen.
Qwizdom interative voting systems are available in 3 formats: Q3 is designed for teachers, with 1 to 255 infrared handsets being available in multiples of 4. The ideal group size is 1 to 100. Q4 and Q5 are radio frequency handsets with 1 to 1000+ users allowed to participate. The only difference between Q4 and Q5 is that the latter allows text via a rocker switch, but these two systems are interchangeable, so you could have 8 Q5 handsets for small special needs group and 24 Q4 handsets, for the rest of a class of 32 students.
