  8. ANGEL Integration • Class roster can be exported from ANGEL and imported into PRS to fill out student names. • Session data from PRS can be imported into an ANGEL assignment, allowing for some gradebook integration. • * Process is relatively simple, but not seamless.

  9. PRS RF in your Classes • Make sure the Bookstore knows that PRS RF Clickers are a required material for your classes. • PRS Classes must be configured as “Open,” not “Closed.” • Students must enter their Access Account ID as their Student ID when they configure their clicker. • Make sure the PRS class name you build when configuring your class is uniquely identifiable to the students, e.g., “BIO497-001” as opposed to “BIO” or “Section1.”

  10. First Day PRS Workflow • Setup PRS RF on the podium or your laptop, and create your PRS classes in advance, to avoid problems during class. • Make sure that students have entered their Access Account ID as their Student ID in their clicker. An instructional slide or two will help. • Start your PRS class in the PRS software, and ask the students to join it. You may also have some first-day PRS PowerPoint questions, to help familiarize the students with the system. • When you end your PRS class in the PRS software, a roster of your students’ Clicker IDs and Student IDs will be generated. • You can now export your roster from ANGEL, and use it to fill in your students’ names in the PRS roster. • Since there will be students adding and dropping your classes, and missing the first session or two, you will have to manually input their names into PRS as they get added to your roster.
