Obtain instant feedback. With state-of-the-art wireless communication between the software and students' handheld remotes, you can immediately assess student performance using real-time scoring.

Improve student skills and confidence. Through more targeted instruction, you can help students develop improved skills and greater self-confidence, which results in stronger academic performances and higher test scores.

Enjoy better technology at a lower price! The handheld remotes communicate with your desktop software via new, breakthrough, low-power wireless technology that is especially helpful in extending battery life (each remote unit is powered by just two AA batteries!). This technology is significantly better and more reliable than IR-based communications and is not limited by line of sight.
 

Save time. You’ll save time by automating assessment scoring and by having results go immediately to your gradebook software. This means you’ll have more time to do what you do best: teach!

The Renaissance Classroom Response System literally provides you with thousands of options for creating, choosing, and incorporating content. Using software that runs on your computer (Windows or Macintosh), you can create a variety of different assessments—everything from single questions to quizzes and tests. The software comes with ready-made content, item banks for customized content, the ability to input to formal assessments, and much more. You can choose from one thousand ready-to-use items for math, reading, language arts, science, and social studies that come with your software. You can also download sets of questions that correspond to popular textbooks!
