Speakers,
trainers and educators seek to accurately assess their audiences
level of understanding or interest during a live training session.
While eye contact, applause, or group posture offer some insight,
meaningful data and metrics used to be hard to come by. With the
advent of audience response technology, real time feedback can
quickly be gathered and aggregated via question and answer sessions.
Audience response technology utilizes attendee response
cards
to transmit feedback from the audience to the presenter. The data is
collected quickly and visually displayed to the group offering
immediate insight and understanding.
Quickly
Collect Audience Feedback
Replacing
pen and paper surveys with response
card
audience response technology saves time, paper, and yields much
higher response rates. Event organizers can replace session and
speaker evaluations with electronic audience response evaluations.
Audience Response Systems (ARS) collect data in seconds while paper
survey’s take days if not weeks to analyze and evaluate. Response
Cards allows participants to respond to questions in about 1-3
seconds per question. They can be used in small groups of 30, or
large groups of 10,000. Response devices are fast and reliable,
cutting time needed to vote, and evaluate results, thus saving
organizations thousands of dollars in multi-day venue rental expense.
Deliver
Effective Presentations
With
real-time feedback delivered by response cards, presenters
can more accurately and efficiently relay their message to an
audience. Topics that interest the audience can be lengthened and
areas that garner less attention can be shortened. A great way to
evaluate where your audience is at the beginning of an event is to
conduct a pre-event evaluation. At the start of your program, use the
response technology to ask three for four questions about the subject
matter you are about to cover. The audiences feedback will help
guide you throughout the presentation.
Prepare
for the Next Event
Audience
response technology does more than just collect real time feedback
during a session. The technology provides detailed reporting and
analysis on every interaction that took place during your event. The
aggregated data is professionally organized in a variety of formats
and report styles allowing speakers to learn what works best from one
event to the next.
