How Audience Response Systems improve trainings and live events

Confirm Audience's Understanding

Audience Response Systems generate  responses to questions asked during a presentation. The audience response results collected and displayed allow a speaker to see if the listeners understand what is being presented. The speaker can then move forward confident that everyone is keeping up. If the responses indicate that the audience is confused, the speaker can explain the material in a different way before moving on.

Create a Fun Learning Environment

Through the use of audience response meeting games you can create a fun environment, while the group is learning at the same time. Games for meetings are a great way to break up a session and get people to relax. Audience Response System games  are perfect for sales meetings, intermissions, and corporate training

Obtain Group Buy-In

By using audience response systems, everyone takes part in the voting. When consensus is gained, there is a better group buy-in because they witnessed the progression to that consensus.

Identify Gathered Data

Whenever necessary, audience response keypad’s unique ID allows you to cross-reference each participant’s answers, which makes it easy to speed up session, speaker and event assessments and evaluations.

Anonymous Polling

There are many people who do not want to publicly share their opinions. If that’s your requirement, audience response systems allow audience members to express their opinion without revealing their identity. The anonymity of Audience Response Systems make them the perfect tool for voting, discussing sensitive issues, and decision making

Speed Up Voting Sessions

Audience polling systems allow organizations to move through voting sessions quickly. Putting audience response keypads in each voter's hands does away with time-consuming paper ballot counting. In some cases, due to quick vote turnaround, savings of over $30,000 were reported as a result of shortening the event and cutting the overall costs

Speed Up the Decision Making Process

When there is instant access to polling data, decisions can be made fast. Organizations that have used an Audience Response System have reduced their group decision sessions by two thirds because there is no need to wait for paper data analysis. Audience response software does the calculation instantly.

Improve Attentiveness

Participants are more likely to remain attentive when audience response keypads are used in the presentation. Through interactive polling, the audiences become more involved and interested.

Increase Retention of Information Presented

During the typical meeting or training session, only a small amount of information will be retained. Audience response systems create an active learning environment which has been proven in university studies to significantly increase the retention of the material presented.
