eInstruction Classroom Performance System for Instructors

The eInstruction Classroom Performance System consists of a radio frequency receiver in the classroom, response pads in the hands of the students, and a versatile software package that allows quizzing, polling, and more.

The eInstruction CPSrf response pads can be ordered through the bookstore just like ordering a textbook. The cost for your students is around 20$ and one response pad can be used for multiple classes. There is no cost to the instructor.

eInstruction Enhances Teaching and Learning
The eInstruction system can add interactivity to your classroom, even if your classroom is a large lecture with 500 students. With the receiver and response pads, you can give short quizzes, take attendance, play learning games, instantly assess students' comprehension of your lecture, and more. See http://www.einstruction.com for examples of how eInstruction can be used in your classroom.

eInstruction Availibility
eInstruction receivers are installed in all Technology in the Classroom sites. eInstruction CPS 5.01.1091.0 software is installed in all ITaP labs and TIC sites.
