Numina II SRS is a Web-based student response system that uses a combination of wireless networks, handheld computers, and a data projector to allow students to submit responses to questions posed by an instructor. The instructor poses a question, using a variety of formats, and directs students to a Web site that generates the appropriate answer pad on their computer screens through which they submit their responses.

Multiple question-and-answer scenarios are possible. A backend database stores only responses to questions, not information about the student, so responses are anonymous. The instructor controls the question number and whether to display the results—which appear as a dynamically updated bar chart generated from student responses as they are submitted to the database—with a data projector that all the students can view.
