eInstruction Pioneers Interactive Technology to Increase Classroom Collaboration and Improve Student

Performance


DENTON, Texas, Feb. 2 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ --


         - Students & Teachers in Asia Pacific Engage Like Never Before

  With Mobile Interactive Whiteboard and Advanced Student Response System -


    Revolutionizing student learning and classroom interaction, eInstruction(TM), the premier global provider of

learning technology, announces the availability of a combined system that will change the way students and

teachers in Asia Pacific collaborate in the classroom. The company's exclusive integration of CPSPulse(TM)

student response systems and INTERWRITEMobi(TM) mobile interactive whiteboards enables students and

teachers to experience enhanced engagement, increased interaction and real-time assessment.


    The mobile version of a traditional interactive whiteboard,

INTERWRITEMobi supports student-centered, collaborative learning where both

teacher and students can concurrently interact with and contribute to the

same digital content from team activities to learning simulations to

interactive lessons. Mobi is intended to enable individuals or groups of

students to provide direct input into a classroom activity without having to

go to the front of the room. The devices are ideal for passing around the

classroom, creating a high level of participation and student ownership in

the learning process.


    When used with CPSPulse, an advanced handheld student response device

allowing up to 1,000 students per class to answer multiple choice, numeric

and short text answers, Mobi's KWIK (Know-What-I-Know) Screen displays

individual student answers in real time. This dynamic feature allows those

who normally remain quiet in the classroom to actively participate in lessons

and enables teachers to privately view every student's answer seconds after

the question has been posed. With that knowledge at hand, teachers are

empowered to provide differentiated instruction as the lesson unfolds, making

sure that each student understands a concept even though their learning

styles may differ.


    Steve Kaye, CEO of eInstruction commented: "With the increasing focus on

how technology can enhance the learning experience, we have developed a

mobile solution ideal for managing today's computer-based classroom while

providing a new level of student-teacher and student-student interaction.

Numerous research studies show that the kind of formative assessment enabled

by this technology has the greatest impact on student outcomes."
