“Do you still rely on pen and paper methods to interact with your audience during your conference?”
Are you still going with the trend of ‘those in favour, raise your hands’?
The entire world of voting has changed with the advent of technology called the Audience Response System or ARS. You no longer need to work on pen and paper, instead can use the keypads. These keypads are wireless devices that work on radio frequency. The keypad works directly by connecting with the receiver to the laptop with customised software.
This technology has come to use for both presenter and the audience. Participants can benefit in active presentation and can simultaneously track every audience’s response with real-time results.
Question and Answer sessions live:
Let’s say in a conference with many corporates, ARS could help a presenter to collect answers from the participants. Live surveys can be creatively created inside the conference to inculcate discussion and showcase what is the common opinion.
Quizzes:
In seminars, attendees can indulge into fun exercises where poll questions have multiple options. The audience can pick the right answer and the results would be showcased immediately. In case of a corporate event, audience feedback can be created using poll questions in a Likert scale.
Corporate Seminars:
ARS can have applications in a broad range of industries as well as organizations in corporate seminars. As it allows large groups of people to cast their vote on topics or post their answers to questions. Each person can be handed a handheld gadget where he can select an answer from the question the presenter poses. In this manner, there is a maximum and spot-on interaction between the presenter and the audience.
Conclusion: So, if you are looking for real-time interaction, a really engrossing and involving session, you need the modern technology of the Audience Response System. Its facilities just leave no room for the audience to divert their attention to anything but the on-going activity.
