Higher Education Solution

    More and more colleges and universities have begun to look for ways to provide their students with that extra competitive edge that can make the difference between success and mediocrity. In meeting this challenge, the Beyond Question campus solution provides a higher return on investment than any other comparable technology. Easy to install, trivial to maintain, and with no cost to the college or university, Beyond Question is rapidly gaining a following as the most effective way to introduce interactive technology to the classroom.

    Institutions interested in evaluating Beyond Question on a smaller scale before committing to a larger implementation can achieve this by using the set-based approach to familiarize key faculty and staff with the benefits of the technology. For schools that are ready for a broader implementation with simplified management, the campus solution, described below, is ideal.

	Campus-Wide Pricing

    We will provide all of the receivers, cables, and software needed to equip the classrooms* where the technology will be used. The installation process takes only minutes, and we automatically handle upgrades and maintenance for free. Participating students then purchase a remote control from the campus bookstore along with their books at a cost of five dollars for the remote plus a nine dollar semester usage fee. This approach ensures that students pay only for the semesters that they actually benefit from the use of the remotes.

• Students only pay for semesters in which they actually use the remotes, and one fee covers all of the student's classes for that semester. For a student using a remote in four classes, that's only $2.25 per class.
  


• Students that drop their only class using the remotes are not charged a semester fee, even if they used their remote during the first few days!
  


• Students can pay online or at the school bookstore, depending on preference. No credit cards or offsite processing is required.
  


• Students can return remotes under warranty directly to the bookstore for immediate replacement with absolutely no down time.

	An Enterprise-Level Solution

    The Beyond Question campus solution is a true enterprise-level approach. From a sophisticated software system that automatically upgrades itself when new versions are approved by the school's technical administrator, to an onsite, centralized data management system that can run on virtually any server, Beyond Question's campus solution is designed to be powerful, secure, and easy to use.

    Beyond Question allows students, instructors, and administrators 24/7 access to the system from anywhere in the world. Students can register a remote or update an account from the comfort of their dorm room at any time of the day or night. Instructors can use an existing school roster or can have Beyond Question automatically generate and maintain a roster based on student registrations, and when the administrator is ready to add new features, it's as easy as uploading an update to a central location; all other copies of Beyond Question will be automatically upgraded.

    All student information can be kept on campus to ensure that confidential data is never beyond the school's control. All accounts are protected by passwords, and internal encryption is used to protect against unauthorized access. Students that forget their passwords can have the system automatically e-mail them a copy, and instructors can store a password reminder for the same purpose. Beyond Question is designed to protect those who use it while still keeping life simple.

    Beyond Question is designed to be simple and straightforward for everyone from the students to the instructors to the administrators. Students can view or update their accounts at any time and don't need the assistance of an instructor to do so. Instructors can manage class information either via the web or directly through Beyond Question's main program. Creating new classes is easy, and class information is automatically updated when necessary. An initial log on screen allows multiple instructors to use the same computer without being distracted by each other's files or preference settings. Finally, technical administrators can install Beyond Question on virtually any server and use almost any database software (including the free MySQL) to support the system; this ensures that the administrator can work with equipment and software that he or she is already familiar and comfortable with.
