HiTeach can be applied to different smarter classroom scenarios through combinations of licensed modules. This IRS Smarter Classroom solution shows how teachers can use HiTeach 5 with student IRS keypads/clickers to run pop quizzes, buzz-in activities, student pick-out, synchronous assessment, and real-time statistics. It is especially suitable when schools want every student to participate without requiring each learner to use a tablet, laptop, or mobile device.
In an IRS Smarter Classroom, students no longer need to participate only by raising their hands. The teacher uses HiTeach 5 Smarter Teaching System to start pop quizzes, buzz-in activities, student pick-out, and assessment. Students press the IRS keypad/clicker in their hands to answer, and HiTeach generates real-time class statistics that help the teacher understand learning status, adjust the teaching pace, and ask better follow-up questions.
Compared with a one-tablet-per-student model, IRS clickers are simpler, durable, cost-conscious, and less likely to distract students with unrelated apps or web browsing. For schools that want to deploy interactive teaching across many classrooms, support limited budgets, or keep response activities stable and easy to manage, IRS is a highly practical smarter classroom model.
Install HiTeach 5 on the classroom computer. Teachers can also install the HiTA 5 Teacher App on a smartphone to control HiTeach wirelessly, manage classroom activities, and interact with students.
During class, each student uses one IRS keypad/clicker to answer single-answer, multiple-answer, true-false, buzz-in, and assessment questions. After class, students can use AClass ONE Learning Companion for review, preview, and remedial learning.
The classroom uses a computer, an IRS receiver, and a large display such as a projector, interactive whiteboard, or touchscreen. A large touch display lets teachers operate HiTeach 5, write, mark, and launch interactions more intuitively.
IRS is a practical entry point for schools adopting HiTeach. When combined with group tablets, HiTeach, and AI-supported teaching functions, it can balance budget, classroom management, collaboration, and digital transformation.
IRS stands for Interactive Response System. It allows every student in the class to give instant feedback, while the teacher collects responses and views real-time statistical analysis. It is also commonly understood as a Classroom Response System, or CRS.
The HABOOK's TEAM Model system developed its first generation of remote-control feedback devices more than 20 years ago. With the TEAM Model 5 series, the student clicker model is RF-09A, which includes an LCD display, single-answer and multiple-answer support, and clearer confirmation of each student's response status.
The IRS system includes both hardware and software. The hardware mainly consists of student keypads/clickers and a signal receiver, used with the existing classroom computer and large display. The software is HiTeach 5. Teachers can ask questions at any time, guide students to press buttons on their clickers, collect all student answers simultaneously, and display results as visual charts or class-wide response status.
Can IRS improve learning effectiveness? Many teaching studies and classroom reports indicate that IRS can support student achievement. In competency-oriented and student-centered classrooms, teacher-student interaction, instant feedback data, student expression, and follow-up discussion are all important. When each student has a simple IRS clicker, whole-class participation, instant statistics, and data-informed discussion can become part of everyday teaching.
An IRS Smarter Classroom allows students to interact and give feedback with clickers, reducing the need for tablets, laptops, or other student-side devices. The clicker is simple, durable, and focused on response, so schools worry less about student distraction or device damage. The RF-09A IRS clicker includes an LCD display so students can see their response status, and it supports multiple-answer questions for more flexible classroom use.

RF wireless transmission with a dedicated receiver lets student and teacher clickers operate wirelessly from any position or angle within a communication distance of 20 meters.
The new press-resistant material design is quality certified and tested for 100,000 to 500,000 presses, making it stronger and more durable for daily classroom use.

Both single-answer and multiple-answer questions are supported, so teachers can use clickers in more varied classroom questioning scenarios.
A classroom set of IRS clickers can be stored in one carrying case, making it convenient for fixed classroom placement or mobile sharing between rooms.
Students only need to take a clicker before class and return it afterward. The device workflow is simple, manageable, and suited to school-wide adoption.
Teachers can ask questions at any time, even without preparing a separate quiz in advance. With HiTeach 5 synchronous interaction, teachers can run instant feedback, real-time statistics, and data-supported discussion to understand each student's learning status during class.
HiTeach 5 supports familiar classroom questioning strategies such as single-answer questions, multiple-answer questions, true-false questions, and buzz-in interaction. Teachers press the interaction button, students answer with IRS clickers, and HiTeach automatically collects the whole class response data. Statistical charts, answer distribution, card flipping, and follow-up tools help teachers turn quick responses into deeper discussion.
| Interaction Type | Student Action | Teaching Value |
|---|---|---|
| Single Answer | Students press one option on the clicker, and the answer returns to HiTeach immediately. | Quick concept checks, warm-up questions, misconception detection, and class opinion polling. |
| Multiple Answers | Students select several options with the RF-09A multiple-answer function. | Useful for complex concepts, multi-step reasoning, competency-oriented questions, or questions with more than one correct answer. |
| True-False | Students choose true or false and respond immediately. | Fast checks for understanding, transitions, and clarification of common misconceptions. |
| Buzz-in | Students press to compete for the right to answer or speak. | Supports active participation, response order, speaking opportunities, and classroom energy. |
Students press an option to respond, and the teacher can immediately view class answer distribution.
Multiple-answer support helps teachers check compound concepts and more complex reasoning.
Start interactive Q&A from PowerPoint slides, web pages, or HiTeach pages using the synchronous interaction button.
Teachers can quickly collect whole-class judgment and clarify concepts before moving forward.
The fastest student response receives the right to answer, helping maintain attention and classroom rhythm.
Response data can lead to card flipping, second answers, charts, student pick-out, and discussion, so interaction moves beyond answering into deeper understanding.
Tests help teachers summarize learning results and understand strengths and weaknesses. In the past, paper-based testing was often complicated and time-consuming. With HiTeach and IES Cloud, teachers can prepare test questions, start the test in class, and let students answer through IRS. After the test, HiTeach immediately displays visual score reports for interactive review, and the data can be uploaded to the cloud for tracking and remedial learning.
Teachers can select a test file and let the whole class answer synchronously, or provide paper test sheets while students control their own answering progress. HiTeach can automatically correct and calculate scores for single-answer, multiple-answer, and true-false questions.
HiTeach creates interactive review pages that include each test question, response data, pie charts, and bar charts, helping teachers choose which questions to review with the class.
Assessment data can support clouDAS analytics such as question analysis, score analysis, students' placement diagnostic analysis, and remediation planning.
During the test, the teacher can see each student's response progress in HiTeach. When the test ends, HiTeach calculates scores and immediately presents correct rates, total scores, analysis charts, and the data needed for interactive review.
Teachers can browse statistics and question difficulty, then use SMART Pick-out, Flip Cards, group statistics, or differentiated teaching based on learning status. This turns assessment results into an efficient review activity.
An IRS Smarter Classroom is more than student clickers. HiTeach also includes PowerPoint integration, interactive whiteboard tools, cloud materials, classroom management tools, teacher remote control, pick-out, and scoreboard functions that help teachers bring familiar materials into interactive lessons.
Teachers can import PowerPoint materials directly. PPT pages become whiteboard pages while keeping objects editable and preserving animations such as appear, fade, pulse, and zoom. Built-in writing tools can be used to mark on documents, slides, webpages, and teaching screens.
With TEAM Model Cloud - IES 5 Smarter Teaching Service, teachers can prepare lessons on the cloud by uploading HTEX, PPTX, supplementary materials, videos, web links, questions, and test papers. During class, those materials are available from the HiTeach auxiliary panel.
HiTeach includes geometry tools, scoreboard, measurement tools, screenshade, spotlight, stamps, and labeling functions. Teachers can use them directly on teaching content without switching to other software.
By installing the HiTA 5 Teacher App, teachers can connect a smartphone with HiTeach, switch pages, pick students, use the scoreboard, start timers, and move around the classroom more freely.
HiTeach provides built-in visual materials such as music staff backgrounds, sports courts, grids, music symbols, phonetic symbols, and traffic signs. Teachers can also search for related images from cloud sources and insert them directly into HiTeach.
The built-in scoreboard lets teachers add points to groups with different icons. It supports team-based learning, group discussion, student-student interaction, and teacher-student interaction.
The pick-out function can randomly select students according to the class list or response data. It helps maintain attention, supports fair participation, and gives more students opportunities to speak.
Research on IRS classroom applications has found that it helps students stay focused and motivates active learning. Many studies show positive effects for both teaching and learning when IRS is used in classroom activities.
West Virginia University used IRS in a two-year teaching study in medical school courses and found that IRS could significantly improve academic performance, with an average improvement of about 5 to 10 points. Research on elementary science teaching at National Central University in Taiwan also showed that students in the IRS class performed better than those in the control group, with an average difference of about 7 points. The experimental group also showed a smaller standard deviation, suggesting a reduced learning gap.
Since 2015, Guang Ming Junior High School has continued to promote smarter classrooms. By using the HiTeach Smarter Classroom, the school reduced the ratio of 5C students in entrance results while 5A students continued to increase, becoming one of Taoyuan City's smart school demonstration sites.
HiTeach can play many supporting roles in the classroom. With student feedback devices and group devices for cooperative learning, it can be configured into different smarter classroom solutions. The Sokrates platform gathers teaching examples shared by teachers around the world, including lesson videos, application feature tags, and teaching plans across subjects and school systems.
If a school wants every classroom to have instant interaction, response statistics, and synchronous assessment, the IRS Smarter Classroom is an efficient, easy-to-deploy model. Planning can be based on the number of classrooms, class size, quantity of student clickers, teacher-side HiTeach licenses, and cloud service requirements.
