VerdICT is an interactive voting system that makes lessons and lectures interactive, so you can create a fun and dynamic learning environment.
VerdICT is an easy to use and versatile. Here are some uses for VerdICT.
  performance rating
displaying multiple-choice questions
end of lesson or course reviews
class surveys
voting quizzes
tests
evaluations
balloting
controlling PowerPoint presentations
question-and-answer sessions
group contests
fundraising quizzes
When your students respond using infrared handsets, VerdICT instantly marks and analyses the answers (so you don't have to mark papers nor compile statistics).
You can choose to make answers anonymous, or to enable students to instantly see how well they?re doing in relation to others - and to find out if they understand the subject as well as they think they do.
By the way, changing the content can give you a good idea of how well your ideas are communicating.

Like other Hitachi interactive solutions designed for schools, Verdict with its simple drag and drop interface is really easy to use. You can be up and running with Verdict within minutes. No need to to embark on some two-day training course.
You can operate VerdICT from any point in the classroom - so there?s no need to return to the computer. You can pause VerdICT at any time during the session to show live video footage, visit a relevant web page or view additional lesson content.
As you would expect, VerdICT works with the Hitachi interactive product range, such as the Hitachi Cambridge interactive whiteboard.
How does VerdICT work?
Either use the bank of 1,500 ready-to-use national curriculum questions or type in your own multiple-choice questions (you can add sounds, pictures and video).
VerdICT displays the questions on a projector screen or TV.
Students use their handset to choose their answers.
An infrared receiver picks up responses and stores them on your PC.
VerdICT grades and analyses the answers.
