Using NEO 2 with AccelTest Software
When you choose “Responder” as the scoring method for an AccelTest
assignment, students can use NEO 2 instead of a Responder to enter their
answers.
Students can use NEO 2 to complete in-class assignments, but not
homework;
also, the Notes feature cannot be used with NEO 2
.
You cannot
assign an owner to NEO 2 laptops as you do to Renaissance Responders in
AccelTest.
As with Renaissance Responders, teachers start a student-paced session so
students can complete their work. Teachers should also make sure each
student has his or her ID from the AccelTest Gradebook. Students follow
these steps to complete the assignment:
1.
Start the Responder SmartApplet as described in the previous section.
2.
Type your student ID from the AccelTest Gradebook and press
enter
.
3.
If you have only one assignment, the program will ask if you are ready to
work on it. Press
Y
for yes to continue; then, press
enter
.
If you have more than one assignment, the program will ask which one
you want to work on, and it will list the assignments. Press the letter for
the assignment you want; then, press
enter
.
4.
Choose or type an answer for each question in the assignment; then,
press
enter
. Use the letter keys for multiple-choice questions,
T
or
F
for
true/false questions, and
Y
or
N
for yes/no questions.
