'Classroom Reimagined' Contest To Award $150,000 in Software Licenses

Education technology provider eInstruction has opened a new video contest that will grant $150,000 in Insight 360 software licenses to winning schools.

It comprises desktop software (Windows and Mac OS X), mobile apps for teachers and students (iOS), and Web-based tools. It's available in premium and standard editions; the premium edition includes support for the student app for iPad, which offers a greater range of question types.

Three winners will be selected. Prizes include:

  • First place: 40 Insight 360 Premium Edition licenses and one year of Web-based access;
  • Second place: 20 Insight 360 Premium Edition licenses;
  • Third place: 10 Insight 360 Premium Edition licenses.
