Kookaburra was appointed the Australian Distributor for GTCO CalComp in July 2004. GTCO CalComp, a company later rebranded as Interwrite Learning®, was a leader in the design, creation and supply of interactive classroom products including the Interwrite Board, Interwrite Pad and Interwrite PRS. In 2008, Interwrite Learning® was acquired by eInstruction of which Kookaburra remains the Australian Distributor. Below is a brief history of eInstruction.
Founded in 1980 by Dr. Darrell Ward, eInstruction pioneered the use of student response systems in education with the creation of a handheld "clicker" system called CPS™ (Classroom Performance System™). Today CPS™ remains the leading student response system in education, used by more than 5 million students in K-12 and higher education classrooms around the world.
eInstruction technology gives administrators the ability to instantly capture, grade, report and analyse student performance data. eInstruction offers educators and administrators a family of software, student response systems, interactive whiteboards, mobile interactive whiteboards, and powerful enterprise-based administrator tools. eInstruction's® research-based solutions have been shown to increase student engagement and achievement while providing real-time actionable feedback and performance data to educators and administrators.
In 2006, eInstruction acquired FSCreations, creators of ExamView®, and worked with educators and publishers to offer seamless integration between CPS™ and ExamView® publishers' content and question banks. The platform enables instructors to easily incorporate publisher and proprietary question banks into their lesson plans, quizzes, and tests, and allows for real-time assessment and feedback.
To further bolster its offerings to educators and students, in 2008 eInstruction acquired Interwrite Learning®, inventors of the Interwrite SchoolPad® and Interwrite®Pad wireless interactive tablets (now called Mobi View™ and Mobi Learner™). Working closely with the education community, eInstruction also integrated its ExamView®, CPS™, and Interwrite Workspace® software to create a unique, integrated learning platform, bringing together three pillars of teaching - content, instruction, and assessment.
In 2009, eInstruction launched the eI Community™ a content-rich online resource centre open to all, where educators can find and share educational resources and discuss best practices online.
eInstruction continues to collaborate with the education community to pioneer innovative solutions to help energize, engage, and assess students in learning. Millions of students, teachers, and professors use eInstruction technology in 500,000 K-12 classrooms and more than 1,000 higher education institutions around the world. Available in more than 40 languages, eInstruction technology is enhancing education in over 90 countries worldwide.
eInstruction has offices in Denton, TX; Columbia, MD; Scottsdale, AZ; Cincinnati, OH; and Paris, France.
