A Wireless Audience Response System, such as the one above, combines hardware with presentation software.
Benefits of an Audience Response System
Audience Response Systems offer many benefits to Event Meeting Services Planners and Organizations. Here are just a few of the potential benefits:
- Engages Audience: In a study completed at the four University of Wisconsin campuses, 69% of the 2,684 student respondents agreed or strongly agreed with the statement “Audience Response Systems led me to become more engaged in class.”
- Poll Anonymously: Unlike a show of hands, responses by wireless hand-held remotes are anonymous.
- Display Polling Results Immediately: The audience response system interacts with software that runs on the presenter’s computer that records and tabulates the responses of attendee members. Generally, the answer is displayed as a bar chart.
- Confirm Attendee Understanding of Key Points: The Audience Response System polling can be easily integrated into a Microsoft Powerpoint presentation and questions may be asked along the way. This is particually effective with complex materials in a large audience setting.
- Gather Data for Reporting and Analysis: Responses are stored in a database and can be analyzed over time or compared group-to-group where the same questions are asked in different settings.
