Setting Up PRS Response Instructor Database

We recommend setting up a new database for each semester of classes just to help keep things organized and keep database file sizes relatively low.

1. Double click on the Interwrite Response shortcut on the desktop (or go to Start → Programs → Interwrite Learning → Interwrite Response → Response)
   
   
2. If this is the first time running the software, select Save to Local Computer and continue.
   
   
3. Under “Select Database”, select “New”.
   
   
4. Next to Name, type the semester and year without any spaces (e.g. spring2009)
   
   
5. Under Directory, click the Browse option
   • If you teach classes in Dawson & Barrow Halls only: select the M:\ drive (your home folder) on the network and create a new folder.  (Saving to the network adds an extra layer of protection to your data as files are backed up regularly.)
   • If you teach classes in buildings other than Dawson & Barrow Halls: insert a flash drive, select the drive letter associated with it, and create a new folder for your database.   **NOTE – If saving to a flash drive, be sure to backup your database regularly. **
