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 Goodell VCU
