What Is an Audience Response System?
A typical keypad-based workflow
The presenter prepares a question, participants submit responses, and the software displays or records results. Classroom systems can use this workflow for quizzes and discussion; meeting and event systems can use it for feedback, polls or ratings.
Classroom feedback and formal meeting votes
Start with the purpose of the session. Classroom feedback helps instructors see how students respond to questions. Formal meeting voting requires a defined process for participant eligibility, vote rules and reports. A system designed for one workflow should be evaluated carefully before using it for another.
Questions to ask before choosing a system
- Which question types and response modes does the session need?
- How many participants, rooms and simultaneous sessions must be supported?
- Which receiver, software version and display setup are required?
- Do reports need names, anonymous totals, scores or formal voting records?
