ActivEngage

A Software-Based Learner Response System

ActivEngage is a software-based Learner Response System ideal for use in schools that have invested in 1:1 laptop initiatives, computer labs and mobile handheld devices. ActivEngage maximizes current technology investments and eliminates the need for additional hardware by enabling students to respond to questions with existing laptops, desktop computers or mobile handheld devices.
Using Promethean’s award-winning software ActivInspire or Promethean ActivOffice, display a question on the interactive display or ask it verbally, and students will respond using the virtual device on their computers or handheld devices. Assign full quizzes of varying difficulty with ActivEngage’s Self-Paced Learning functionality to encourage students to work at their own pace and comprehension level. Gain instant insight into student comprehension and progress with an intuitive, integrated application that makes the most of existing classroom technology.Designed to grow with you, ActivEngage enables virtual voting across a single classroom, an entire campus and beyond. The software-based system can be managed at a class-level or centrally on a networked server.
