What is a Training Management System
Training Management Systems (or trainee response systems) are educational tools that allow trainers and educators to gather feedback from their participants in real time.
Often considered the ‘lite’ version of your overall Learning Management System (LMS), the training management system provides the technology, mechanism and record of how your trainees respond to the training you provide them with.
Your PowerPoint slide decks can contain all of your course material, embedded videos, images, and quiz questions. Learners answer interactive questions with response devices often referred to as “classroom clickers”. The group’s responses are instantly collected and displayed in a graphical form for discussion.
Case Study: Empowering Education at ConEd
Who empowers the employees of ConEd when it comes to ensuring that this sprawling service and delivery infrastructure is operating properly?
That’s the job of educators working at the ConEd Learning Center. Now, those instructors are using an audience response system (ARS) from Meridia Interactive Solutions to gain real-time insights into what students know coming into a class, as well as what they have learned after completing a class.
Learn more about their process and compare notes to see if you can benefit from a similar application.
We have been using the Meridia response system for almost 1 year. We have had patients become more involved with educational programs and actually have fun during the voting and review. The program encourages more dialogue between instructor and class participants. We love using it.

“I have incorporated knowledge checks in my PowerPoint training slides which has resulted in an average of a 17% increase in test scores. Since using the Meridia voting system, I have experienced student survey response rates over 80% and a significant increase in comments.”

“We used the clickers for our annual all employee meeting recently. Staff really enjoyed the interactive experience and the technology worked perfectly. Being new to the technology, I ran into some initial technical difficulties, but the tech support received from Meridian was amazing. They offered me multiple help sessions until the issue was resolved.”

This is the only ARS I have ever used that does not require constant de-bugging, driver installs, etc.

The Meridia software has been an excellent addition to our current training programs. The keypads allow us to see if the information being discussed is sinking in or if we need to double-back and discuss something again. The keypads also force participation, but responses can be kept anonymous so no one is ever embarrassed or feels singled out. The Meridia technology has been an awesome improvement/supplement to creating a qualified, well trained, safety conscious work force.

Integrated Training Management System
With CloudVOTE, your content can be managed centrally from the cloud, assigned to individual trainers and synced to the desktop app for offline polling during the instructor-led training sessions.
All sessions conducted in all of your locations will be synced and reporting will be aggregated automatically, so you don’t have to do any data merge before syncing it nightly to your Learning Management System (LMS).
How Does It Work
Creating & Presenting
Course content is created in PowerPoint and trainees use wireless clickers, or mobile devices to respond to questions and quizzes.
Trainer can capture feedback from their audience using PowerPoint, Prezi, or video presentations, play interactive team games, and create a hybrid audience with clickers and smartphones, if needed.
Management & Distribution
Question slides contained within the presentation will be automatically recognized upon import to the CloudVOTE Training Management System.
Presenter reviews slides for accuracy and consistency, configures the Template settings and can share content with others in the organization, making sure that only the assigned staff has access to specific training materials.
