History
eInstruction was founded in 1981 by computer science professor Darrell Ward.[1] In the 1990s, eInstruction sold a radio frequency (RF) response system manufactured by Fleetwood.[2]
In 2000, Ward and his team developed student response systems in education,[3] with the creation of a hand-held "clicker" system called CPS (Classroom Performance System). In addition to CPS and other interactive classroom technologies, Einstruction worked with educators providing professional development and training.[1]
In 2006, eInstruction acquired FS Creations, which developed the Examview test bank.[1]
eInstruction acquired Interwrite Learning in 2008, which included GTCO CalComp. GTCO produced tablets with wireless and Bluetooth connectivity.[4]
In 2009, eInstruction released a mobile interactive whiteboard tablet, as well a system which allowed multiple students to use the same board simultaneously.[5]
eInstruction also created the online resource community eI Community, the enterprise-based administrator tool eI Cornerstone Education Suite, and the Insight 360 Formative Instruction System.[6]
Einstruction was purchased by Turning Technologies in 2013.[7]
