 ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual and EdTech solutions, is excited to announce that ClassSwift software, an innovative interaction tool that allows educators to boost class engagement and promote quick comprehension checks, is now available to educators worldwide

"At ViewSonic, we believe that education should be accessible and interactive for everyone," said Kevin Chu, Education Software Director at ViewSonic. "By making ClassSwift available to all educators, we are dedicated to supporting their crucial role in shaping the future. Our mission is to accelerate the digital transformation of education, ensuring that innovative solutions are within reach for all educators, helping them create dynamic and effective learning environments."

ClassSwift: A Game-Changer in the Classroom
Heathlands Primary Academy in Birmingham, UK, a primary school and nursery serving nearly 700 students aged 3 to 11, has seen a remarkable shift in classroom engagement thanks to ClassSwift. Teachers have praised its user-friendly design that allows effortless comprehension checks by seamlessly pushing real-time quizzes directly to each student's device.

"My favorite part is how you can get individual feedback from the children. The engagement is fantastic," said Craig McMahon, Deputy Headteacher at Heathlands Primary Academy. "When you reveal the quiz answers, it's always a cheer. From a teaching view, I like the analysis you get after each question, so I know which topics to revisit before moving on to the next question. This is very useful to understand how to progress the learning."

The Push-and-Respond feature, which enables teachers to send content directly to students' screens and receive instant responses, has significantly boosted student participation. By leveraging their existing class material, such as e-books, web pages, and PDFs, teachers can simplify pre-class planning by eliminating the need to pre-set questions within the platform. 

Enhancing Student Engagement with Interaction Tools
ClassSwift enhances assessment management for both in-person and remote learning. Its interactive response formats, including single-answer, multiple-choice, true/false questions, and audio and sketch responses, cater to diverse learning needs. Teachers can also engage students with a point reward system, encouraging participation, while the buzzer and timer features boost interaction and focus by adding excitement and urgency to lessons.

After class, teachers can use the management portal, ClassSwift Hub, to access comprehensive classroom reports and class grouping tools, gaining class insights such as test results, attendance, and participation records to streamline class management. This allows teachers to tailor lesson delivery according to individual learning preferences and levels.
