Electronic Voting

Overview:
The Interactive Audio Response & Electronic Voting System consists of a keypad for each audience member, a receiver, and software that allows audience members to respond to questions posted by the presenter. Audience members responses are aggregated real time on a screen, the results then used to form the basis of deeper discussion and understanding in a wide range of subject areas. The system identifies if audience members are participating and provides interactive group responses.

It is no more difficult than changing the channel on the television at home and many people will have seen similar applications on the ‘Ask the Audience’ segment of television’s ‘Who Wants To Be A Millionaire’. In a conference situation the system provides the opportunity to engage all the audience members at the same time in a series of posed questions, rather than just the vocal minority.

Audience members are thus turned from passive listeners to interactive participants.

Benefits of audience interaction…

Involving participants increases memory retention by three to five times.
Interaction increases interest and participation.
Instantly showing the results of participant voting increases involvement and enjoyment for both participants and presenters.
Having instant results means quality discussion on gaps in thinking that have been raised, (more relevant and accurate feedback and more relevant involvement).
Post-event reports can provide invaluable information and details for reviewing, evaluation and comparison, at a fraction of the cost of market research…its part of the package, not extra.
