As for diagramming, I assume you are talking about something similar to Microsoft's equation editor for doing complex fractions. QuickieQ does not have anything that sophisticated. You can do subscript and superscript for exponents.Alan Degenerhttp://www.quickieq.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-68740950548279585562010-03-04T07:21:44.310-05:002010-03-04T07:21:44.310-05:00I have a few questions about this response system....I have a few questions about this response system. 1. Is this NYSTAL approve? 2. Can you input a question that requires the use of a diagram? I am asking question 2 because I am a math teacher and I am interested in using this system with my students, but some mathematical questions require the use of a diagram. If not, is there a program that is more math friendly?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-38104716075900993952010-03-02T20:35:24.442-05:002010-03-02T20:35:24.442-05:00I think this tool has tremendous potential as a co...I think this tool has tremendous potential as a complement to distance and online courses (which seem to be growing). I am thinking mostly of facilitation during synchronous classes (via videoconference for example) to garner feedback and increase interaction. However, I see no reason why it could not also be used in asynchronous environments.<br /><br />I like the flexibility and that development is focused on continually improving. This is a growing product and will respond, as Alan indicates above, to user demand. It can only get better.<br /><br />I recently was on the receiving or "student" end of a QuickieQ session during a live professional development class and I must say I was quite impressed. It was an effective and efficient way to re-frame some of the activities and succeeded in getting each individual to participate.Nathan Pittnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-90235136062765290782010-02-27T11:53:15.923-05:002010-02-27T11:53:15.923-05:00Keith - QuickieQ is really light weight, so it is ...Keith - QuickieQ is really light weight, so it is easy on networks. I encourage you to set up a free trial account and see how it works for you. Trial accounts are fully functional, but limit you to five responders.<br /><br />As for exporting data, you are correct, you can only export to spreadsheets at this time. Exporting to other systems is doable and will likely be available down the road.<br /><br />Tracking students over time would be more difficult as there are no student accounts to link the data together. I intentionally avoided student accounts because that creates a whole new layer of management on the part of the teacher - AND - some students are apt to forget their login and password. The overriding concept in QuickieQ is to keep it light, easy, quick, and simple. None the less, this is an interesting idea to kick around and if the user demand is there I can build it.<br /><br />Feel free to contact me with more questions, comments, or ideas.<br /><br />Alan - creator of QuickieQ<br />alan_degener@quickieq.comAlanhttp://www.quickieq.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8318734518772387227.post-29499753522700632452010-02-27T07:43:47.697-05:002010-02-27T07:43:47.697-05:00Lisa - have you tried using this yet? How did it ...Lisa - have you tried using this yet? How did it work? Was it responsive on the network? Looks like a great, affordable alternative - just curious on how it functioned in real-time use.<br /><br />Also, I didn't see information on how the data at the end of a session is formatted. Do you know what your view is like for the data at the end, does it roll up into a larger 'grade book' for viewing results of a responder over time? Is the data exportable to the import into other systems (like ARIS or other programs schools utilize)? I did not see anything on their site addressing that.. It looked like you can export that specific session to a separate spreadsheet only<br /><br />Looks like a great, simple tool to utilize, but curious on the questions posed above. I like that it can be used on laptops, iPhones, iTouch, etc - definitely nice to NOT have to have a separate piece of hardware if you already have a device.keithhttp://blog.teqsmart.orgnoreply@blogger.com
