Via Response Technologies LLC Previews Dynamic New Educational Tool at 12 Universities Around the World
ORLANDO, Fla. --- Via Response Technologies LLC., a startup company headquartered in east Orlando, announced it is previewing its dynamic new student response platform for engaged learning at 12 leading universities on three continents.
Derrick Meer, chief operating officer at Via Response Technologies, said its new application is the result of a year of research and development.
“Via Response Technologies’ new web based application connects students to the classroom whether they are physically present or watching a web-based lecture in their dormitory,” Meer said.
“Using a time-tested method known as “student response,” teachers can engage students in active learning that holds their attention, radically increases participation, and accommodates the mixed content delivery needs of students and professors,” Meer explained.
The new Via Response Technologies app leverages the power of social media and mobile communication to dramatically increase student participation and learning, Meer said.
“Student response systems, or “clickers,” have been used by universities for over a decade as an effective means of getting students to both pay attention and participate in lessons,” Meer said. Via Response substantially advances the technology by using a web-based infrastructure to link with students’ tablets, smart phones, and laptop computers. It changes the classroom environment from a low participation lecture to a highly engaged and accountable learning environment.
Via Response gives professors a big assist too --- the app captures information about the students’ performance, tracks progress toward educational goals, and provides information to teachers in a format that can be easily accessed, stored and acted on.
“Institutions can even aggregate this data at a higher level to track performance, progress, and improvement across the school or university,” Meer said. “Our web-based infrastructure allows instructors to access the data and learning platform any time from any where.
Via Response integrates seamlessly with existing clicker hardware and it revolutionizes the model by bringing iPhones, Androids, and just about every internet enabled device into play with its new platform, Meer said.
Via Response is a client of the University of Central Florida Business Incubation Program in the Central Florida Research Park in east Orange County.
