Educational technology company Promethean has launched ActivEngage, a software version of its Learner Response System, to the Irish market.
Unveiled at the Irish Teaching and Learning Festival, the new application enables laptops or desktop computers to act as personal response devices, meaning schools can provide voting capability in classrooms via individual student computers instead of specific handsets.
Schools using ActivEngage can use the technology in a single classroom or across an entire campus. The voting interface floats over other software applications, enabling it to be deployed at any point in a lesson.
Promethean’s head of Ireland and Scotland Graham Byrne, said: “Learner Response Systems have proved invaluable for providing teachers with flexible and exciting opportunities to engage, motivate and assess learners. Teachers gain instant insight into students’ understanding and can use the self-paced learning mode, whereby students work through different levels of question sets, to personalise learning to the capabilities of different individuals.”
Promethean is also offering schools the chance to ‘try before you buy’, enabling trial copies of ActivEngage to be downloaded and used free of charge from www.PrometheanPlanet.com/ActivEngage.
