var fDesc=new Array(); fDesc[0] = "Student Response Systems are in-class technology that allows for audience polling in classrooms, whereby the teacher may create an active learning environment in which the student becomes more engaged in the material. zLearn, designed by Zaref Engineering, is a software-based system which carries out the functions of a student response system. The application can be installed on teacher and student laptops. zLearn is a distributed Java-based system, installable on any platform once the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is available, allowing communication over both WiFi and Ethernet networks. This system can be used in examination settings, conferences and small meetings. Because the technology enables the user to collate responses when the answers belong to a known set, such as in multiple choice questions, then the responses can be corrected and statistically analyzed. The final results can be viewed in a fraction of the time that it would take for the traditional manual process, saving teachers much time. By far the most beneficial use of the zLearn is when administering multiple choice examinations; greatly reducing the time for marking scripts, saving both energy and paper, and providing teachers with various analyses of results. zLearn will effectually assist in making best use of laptops in classrooms and aid teachers in incorporating laptops into everyday teaching practice."; function tShowHide(id, show) { var s = document.getElementById("desc"); if ((s.innerHTML.length<=212 || show==1) && show!=2) { s.innerHTML = fDesc[id]; if (document.getElementById('m1')) document.getElementById('m1').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('m2')) document.getElementById('m2').style.display='none'; if (document.getElementById('more_txt')) document.getElementById('more_txt').style.display='inline'; } else { s.innerHTML = ''; } }
