Presentria is driven by the mission of addressing the evolving needs of the modern classroom. The company was founded by a visionary and an award-winning professor in Canada's higher education sector, Dr. Ken Kwong-Kay Wong. Presentria’s philosophy is deeply rooted in his extensive teaching experience. The story began at the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies in the spring of 2003 when Dr. Wong embarked on his teaching journey in Canada. With each passing class, he observed that certain students consistently faced challenges in the form of confusion, shyness, fatigue, and distraction within the classroom. As an educator deeply committed to the principles of inclusive teaching and learning, he strongly believed that there must be a more effective way to engage students, irrespective of whether they were attending classes on campus, online, or in the field. By 2011, after instructing his 6000th student, he recognized that the time was right to actualize inclusive teaching and learning through the use of technology. He initiated a partnership with Professor Paul Lam from the Centre for Learning Enhancement And Research at The Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK) and collaborated with skilled developers at Edvant Hong Kong to work on a classroom response system named uReply. Following its initial software release in September 2012, this ground-breaking system garnered interest from over 2,000 professors at CUHK alone, leading to more than 20,000 sessions and 4.5 million pageviews. The notion of developing a classroom response system tailored to the Canadian educational landscape had been brewing in Dr. Wong's mind after implementing uReply in his classes at the University of Toronto, Ryerson University, and Seneca Polytechnic. After two years of diligent preparation, Presentria was officially established in 2020, alongside the launch of Presentria GO — Canada's pioneering experiential place-based learning tool.
