Welcome
Welcome to the University of Leeds electronic voting (e-voting) website. This resource aims to provide you with all the information you need to become a confident user of this very useful, as well as exciting technology.
The main advantage of interactive voting is that it supports instantaneous, anonymous (as well as known) interaction between the presenter and the audience. As a result, lectures become livelier, the presenter can easily stay aware of how well the audience has grasped the ideas he or she has been communicating, and both the presenter and the audience can receive instant feedback from each other.
The e-voting system currently available at the University of Leeds is produced by InterWrite Learning. The system used to be called InterWrite PRS (Personal Response System), but we are now about to complete the upgrade process to the latest version of the software - Interwrite Response. More information about how it works is available on this page.
The e-voting system which is mainly used at the University of Leeds is the Infra-red (IR) one. Several departments have purchased or are purchasing their own e-voting systems, too. However, they have chosen the newer version of the clickers, the radio frequency (RF) crickets. Nevertheless, both the clickers and the crickets are produced by the same company and work with the same software: Interwrite Response and InterWrite PRS.
If you are interested in buying your own e-voting PRS system, please contact Banxia, who have supplied the University of Leeds with this technology so far. The company’s web address is http://www.banxia.com/ and their contact e-mail is info@banxia.com. Their price list for PRS products can be found at http://www.banxia.com/acatalog/InterwritePRSproducts.html but they also have regular promotions, so it is worth getting in touch with them before ordering.
