The Class Performance System (CPS) produced by eInstruction is an interactive system that enables instructors to pose questions to a class and get individual responses from students, via hand-held keypads, that are graded automatically and logged into a class grade-book.  In this talk we will outline the many advantages to both the student and the instructor compared with more traditional approaches of questioning-answering in class.
