__**Classroom Performance Systems (CPS)**__ The classroom performance systems (CPS) are handheld devices that allow students to respond to true / false and multiple choice questions electronically. Teachers are able to get immediate feedback without having to grade the assessment. CPS is compatible with Powerpoint and ExamView and teachers can create test banks which can be used with the CPS remotes. There are two kinds of CPS remotes that can be used. The first is the CPS IR (Infrared), which are the primary ones used in our school. The second type are the CPS RF (Radio Frequency), which allow the students to put numbers and letter combinations in their responses. These “clickers” are primarily used by science and math teachers. The frequency on these remotes allows for easier recognition of answers from the sensor pad. To learn more about the Classroom Performance System watch this video  - CPS clickers . __ Tutorials __ A CPS database is a file where you can save your class information, lessons and team activities. You only need to create one database: 1. Open CPS by double clicking on the CPS icon on your desktop. 2. Choose, **Create a New CPS File**. 3. Click **OK.** The new CPS file dialog box opens. 4. Double click the new folder and choose a new name for it. 5. Save this database to your folder on the **desktop or C:Drive.** To view a video on how to create a database click on the following link [|CPS Tutorials] and find the video **Create a CPS Database** under the section **Module 1.**
