Engaging your audience and motivating them to participate during lessons/meetings is a challenging, and when you actually do get a show of hands, how can you understand what your audience really know? Marking homework and tests has a place, but what about being able to assess performance in time to make a difference - while they are still in the room? This is where Audience Response Systems can make a massive difference.

Audience Response Systems (ARS), sometimes called Group Response Systems or Voting Systems, are computer-based systems that allow audience members to participate in presentations by submitting their responses to interactive questions using hand-held devices or response pads.

What are the benefits?

An audience response system improves productivity and results for your school or Business. For example, a group response system can dramatically increase student-teacher interaction and discussion in the classroom. With their personal wireless keypad, each person in the classroom can easily respond to PowerPoint delivered questions presented to the entire room.

You can ask a question, get an answer from every person in the room, identify any weak students/colleagues and, in the case of Turning Point get instant feedback and amend lessons/meetings while your audience is still in the room.
