Communicate.Learner Response Systems

In the ActivClassroomQuestions are infiniteAnswers are immediateAnd every single voice counts.In any classroom, testing, collaboration and in-class conversation are vital to learning. But in the ActivClassroom, the typical question-and-answer format takes on a whole new dimension, with friendly Learner Response Systems that facilitate the day’s discussion and enable assessment for learning. With easy opportunity for prepared and spontaneous questioning, teacher-to-student communication can be both collective and personal. No matter what, here, everyone finds their voice.

The use of Learner Response Systems encourages student inclusion by improving participation and confidence in children and helps decrease teacher time spent on preparation and testing. They offer educators an instant insight into the class’s grasp of the lesson in real time — and an immediate understanding of what should be covered (or reviewed) next. They chart student progress over time. But, most importantly, they afford every student the opportunity to confidently join the discussion — not just the child whose arm waves the wildest.

Students have amazing things on their minds, and very little of it fits the standard multiple choice format. ActivExpression turns question and answer into query, communicate and check comprehension.

Full text-capability enables students to respond in full sentences as well as in numbers, symbols, math equations, true/false, Likert scales and more

Self-Paced Learning allows teachers to assign full quizzes of varying difficulty and gives students the opportunity to register answers at their own pace. Teachers can alter the assignment’s length of time to challenge learners

Question Leveling is used for differentiated instruction. Teachers customize the level of each question to target learner profiles and enable students to venture deeper into the curriculum

Wire-free radio connectivity means ActivExpression works anywhere in the classroom with no line-of-sight needed
