Student Response System (SRS)
The Student Response System (SRS) consists of hand-held interactive student response pads. With the SRS, you can ask objective and subjective questions. Then, every student responds with their individual, wireless response pad. In addition to assessing classroom comprehension, CPS also grades quizzes and homework in a matter of seconds. CPS keeps a log of every class session you create, so your records are always available at the click of a mouse. More information can be found at: eInstruction.com. You can also view a presentation by CIDDE’s Michael Arenth about the use and functionality of the Student Response System. CIDDE WebCast. Please contact Nam Do at nhd6@pitt.edu for more information.
