Engage your Group with an Audience Response System

Most of the time in a group environment layout you have the host and the audience. The host is normally the person that leads the group and gives all the information. The problem with this is that the host has no way of knowing if the audience actually understands the material or if some aspects of the material should be covered in greater depth. Implementing and audience response system enables the host to determine what the audience knows. Audience response systems can be used in a business or classroom environment.

The popularity of audience response systems has grown dramatically in the last number of years due to the benefits that can be clearly seen from implementing this system. The technology allows real time feedback to be gathered, opinions and discussing to be heard and overall greater collaboration between the host and audience which evidently leads to an improved interactive session.
