Good news from eInstruction this week…the Powerpoint add-in is HERE! Although CPS previously worked with PowerPoint running both applications at a time, this add-in allows users to run CPS from within Powerpoint or to run Powerpoint from within CPS, making CPS even more user-friendly for PowerPoint users.
This is definitely one of things I love about eInstruction; they are constantly working to improve their product and make it that much easier for educators. No, they didn’t even pay me to say that! 
“eInstruction introduces CPS for PowerPoint, a new product that integrates 100% into Microsoft PowerPoint. Now you can run your existing presentations while asking questions and receiving instant feedback. It’s all the power of CPS and all the functionality of PowerPoint.
- Insert different types of question slides into existing PowerPoint files.
- Import class rosters from WebCT, Blackboard, and CPSOnline.
- Use data slicing and other data analysis tools.
- Take attendance.
- Award class participation grades.
With this new PowerPoint add-in, you can choose to run CPS from within PowerPoint or to run PowerPoint from within CPS–it’s up to you. This new add-in works with CPS IR and CPS RF, making eInstruction the natural choice for educators who use PowerPoint.”
If you are interested in the PowerPoint add-in, you can download it HERE. FYI…It is a large download, but definitely well worth your time!
