The use of personal response system technologies
has literally begun to transform our institution.
Once faculty see all of the different ways that
these technology's can be used, that go above and
beyond taking attendance and pop-quizzing, their
teaching improves and student learning improves.
Of these technologies, the Classroom Performance
System by eInstruction has proven to be the best
for us because of the low learning curve
associated with the software and hardware, the
versatility of the technology, as well as the
exceptional customer service and technical
support that they provide. What most impresses me
is that eInstruction has been committed to our
success, not just their own. Zach
