H-ITT now offers a complete software solution for Windows, Mac, and Linux operating systems.

Hyper-Interactive Teaching Technology (H-ITT), a leader in hand-held remote technology for the classroom, today announced the release of a Mac OSX and Linux version of their Acquisition Software.

H-ITT's Acquisition software, used for collecting responses from students in the classroom now runs on Linux, Mac OSX, and Windows operating systems. This release is yet another of H-ITT's major advances in audience response technology. With this release H-ITT becomes the first vendor to release software for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux operating systems. All three of these operating systems are in use in the higher education environment. This allows H-ITT's clients to work with the operating system of their choice.

H-ITT accomplished this feat by utilizing the popular open-source wxWidgets (www.wxWidgets.org) C++ framework. This framework allows H-ITT's software development team to target multiple platforms from one code base. In addition, utilizing wxWidgets allows the applications to have the native look-and-feel of their respective operating systems.

"wx[Widgets] is a delight to use to author cross platform C++ applications." Says Larry, head of H-ITT's application development team.

H-ITT users can now collect data in class from the students, grade and analyze it on the operating system of their choice. This is due in part to the cross platform XML file format.
