6 Chapter 1InterWrite PRS – Lessons
Another powerful Lesson presentation tool is the PRS PowerPoint Add-in.
When InterWrite PRS is installed on your Windows computer, a PRS
Toolbar is automatically added to your Microsoft PowerPoint software.
On the Mac, the PRS PowerPoint Add-in has to be manually installed, but
once installed, the Add-in works the same on both systems.
The PRS Toolbar becomes part of the PowerPoint application. It is used to
make any slide in a PowerPoint presentation into a PRS Question Slide.
When a PowerPoint Slide Show with one or more PRS Question Slides is
run, PRS is launched, if it isn’t already running. When the PRS PowerPoint
Slide Show is begun, a New Session dialog is displayed. During the
course of the Slide Show presentation in an IR environment, every time a
PRS Question Slide appears, a Response Grid or Attendee List displays to
verify that the students’ Responses to the Question on the Slide have
been received and recorded.
In an RF environment, the Start RF Class dialog is displayed, the RF
Class is selected and started, and the students join the Class before the
PRS PowerPoint Slide Show is started. When the PRS PowerPoint Slide
Show is begun, a New Session dialog is displayed. It is not necessary to
display a Response Grid in RF.
The recorded Responses from a PRS PowerPoint Session are saved in a
standard PRS Session file. The file is listed in the Sessions Section List Win-
dow, making PowerPoint Session results accessible to the Session functions
described next.
A similar process is available to InterWrite users who have both
InterWrite and PRS installed on their systems. Multiple Question Slide-like
pages can be created in InterWrite and tagged as PRS Question Slides, and
run in a PRS Session. In addition, single PRS Question Slides can be
inserted “on-the-fly” into any InterWrite presentation.
