Our History

eInstruction^® is a leading education technology company dedicated to providing interactive teaching, learning, and assessment technology and services that help educators drive academic progress every day, and give administrators the ability to aggregate and analyze student performance data. The company offers educators and administrators a family of software, student response systems, interactive whiteboards, wireless interactive tablets, and powerful enterprise-based administrator tools.

eInstruction^®'s research-based solutions have been shown to increase student engagement and achievement while providing real-time feedback and performance data to educators and administrators.

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.

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 INTERWRITESchoolPad^® and INTERWRITE^®PAD wireless interactive tablets. Working closely with the education community, eInstruction^® also integrated its EXAMVIEW^®, CPS™, and INTERWRITEWORKSPACE^® software to create a unique, integrated learning platform, bringing together three pillars of teaching: content, instruction, and assessment.

Most recently, eInstruction^® launched the eI Community™, a content-rich online resource center open to all, where educators can find and share educational resources and discuss best practices online, and the eI Cornerstone Education Suite, a powerful enterprise-based administrator tool for monitoring, aggregating, and analyzing student performance data, distributing content and assessments, and centrally managing district technology.

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.
