Increases Level of Interactivity Between Audience and Presenter

Online audience response systems are a technological boon for increasing the level of interactivity between an audience and presenter. With the help of this online polling tool, audiences can participate in polling sessions. Through participation, group engagement is elevated and retention of knowledge is greatly increased. The polling system helps the presenter keep track of participant responses and organizes that data in graphs and detailed reports. The audience can participate in the polling sessions by selecting the most appropriate answers from the choices that are provided.

Analyze individual responses during the training session

The online polling tool gathers participant results and aggregates the data visually for the presenter. The response software organizes the data by group, by question, and by participant, allowing for immediate and post-event analysis. The data can be stored locally, uploaded to a secure cloud, or printed out immediately following any session.

Audience understands key concepts in an easy way

The online polling tool promotes a high level of interaction and discussion which increases participant knowledge retention and raises attendee engagement. Response systems, often referred to as Classroom Performance Systems or Student Response Systems, are utilized by teachers in their lessons where they promote lively discussions, are used to review key concepts and provide a platform to evaluate learners. Audience Response Systems are also popular in corporate training environments, as well as academic institutions for their effectiveness in presentations and training sessions.

Raise participation and increase knowledge retention

By engaging participants in a two-way conversation rather than a traditional one-way didactic lecture, online polling tools greatly increase group participation. Additionally, the anonymity provided by online polling provides even the most timid participant with a platform to respond. Online polling also allows presenters to immediately reinforce key points by highlighting correct and incorrect answers. The immediate reinforcement of correct responses greatly increases participant knowledge retention.

Perfect Tool for Instructor-Led Group Training

Learning Management Systems (LMS) are an essential tool for companies and institutions looking to gain a competitive edge in today’s global marketplace. All of the training content, results of each training session and trainees’ performance can be tracked there. However, the traditional LMS are missing one crucial component – in-class interactivity, one-on-one engagement and ability to get feedback on the lesson itself, or collect responses to the questions electronically.

Interactive Learning Management Systems (ILMS) fix that problem. They are optimized for instructor-led group training and enhance training content with the ability to collect responses and answers from groups of trainees. The responsive training platform links learners with their responses from either dedicated, wireless, hand-held audience response devices, or from their own smartphones and tablets. ILMS can document attendance, participation, and proficiency of key topics.

Easy to use group assessment tools

• Traditional Learning Management Systems are optimized for a single-learner, self-paced training and struggle with tracking individual performance in group settings.
• Most organizations favor instructor-led training over self-paced instruction, because instructor-led training consistently yields better learner outcomes.
• Interactive Learning Management Systems allow trainers to conduct group lessons and collect individualized results.

Speed up tracking trainees over time

• Traditional assessment requires paper tests, scantron forms, or online quizzes to be completed by individual learners and compiled by instructors by hand or though software applications.
• Interactive Learning Management Systems enhance training content with question and answer capabilities allowing groups of individuals to respond to questions in real-time.
• Trainers can use the technology to show their learners how the group responded to a particular question, thus closing the knowledge gaps
• Instructors can generate reports immediately after each session is complete, or aggregate the results from multiple sessions taken over time.
• Trainees are linked to a specific course by signing into the session with a mobile device or registering a classroom response keypad to their employee ID number.
• Individual trainee data is stored in the Interactive LMS for analysis or exported to third-party systems.

Simplify training content management

An Interactive Learning Management System allows instructors to upload training content to a cloud service. Once uploaded over a secure, encrypted connection, the content is private to the user who put it there, and only available for distribution if delegated (assigned) to another user with explicit permissions. Training administrators can assign training curriculum to a specific facility, department, or trainer. Training results are uploaded from individual sessions and stored centrally where they can be aggregated, reported on, and exported.
