Via Response Expands Campus-Wide at the University of Central Florida

March 4, 2013 - PRLog -- ORLANDO, Fla. -- Via Response, the leader in cloud-based “Bring Your Own Device” student engagement platforms, has added new instructors across six departments at the University of Central Florida for the spring 2013 term.

UCF’s College of Business Administration, which adopted the Via Response platform department wide in 2012, has the largest business school in the United States with over 10,000 students. This term, the physics, nursing, statistics, biomedical, and language departments have also adopted Via Response to bring the digital age into the classroom to improve student engagement and performance across the campus.

“We’ve experienced steady growth over the past twelve months and this deep adoption across UCF is a testament to that. We are very excited by what we have achieved in a short amount of time and anticipate similar campus wide deployments at several large colleges and universities by years end,” said Derrick Meer, President of Via Response. “With our customer base covering medical schools, state universities, community and technical colleges and a growing number of state-level higher education consortiums, we feel our platform is truly helping evolve the traditional classroom into a unique, blended learning environment.”

The Via Response platform is well-suited for large hybrid or online courses that require combined synchronous and asynchronous assessment capabilities. At UCF, Via Response is used in classes with over 1,500 students, most of which are hybrid configurations. Through the easy-to-use interface, instructors are able to conduct real-time polls and quizzes, along with asynchronous homework and case study assessments. Students can use any device, such as a smartphone, tablet or laptop, from any location to interact with instructors through the Via Response platform.
