iRespond System
For Real-Time Testing

Southwest Education is proud to annouce that we now provide schools with the iRespond Student Respond System used for real-time grading and assessments. Teachers and schools can develop their own tests, use existing state tests or use the iRespond Content Material for tests. The content material includes Math Language Arts, Reading, Sciende and Social Students ranging from elementary through high school.

The Teacher's Dashboard is the heart of the iRespond Program. It is designed to be used all day if needed. Teachers can collect homework, give lectures, tests and even conduct course critiques with real-time results and immediate feedback.

For more information, a demonstration, and pricing, contact us at Info@SouthwestLearning.com. We look forward to hearing from you.
