A wireless audience response system offers many important benefits unattainable through traditional presentation methods.
Improves attentiveness
Meeting participants are more likely to remain attentive if they are engaged in the presentation. Assessment Technologies’ TurningPoint keeps them interested in what you’re presenting them.
Increases retention of information
Only a minuscule amount of information will be retained via passive learning methods. Audience response systems foster an active learning environment, which leads to an increased retention of the material presented.
Offers anonymous polling
Inevitably, some people will not want to publicly] share their opinions. Audience response systems make anonymous be involved in the meeting.
Enables tracking capabilities to gather individual data
Although participants can respond to questions anonymously, meeting facilitators have the option to gather data based on unique IDs assigned to each keypad (and therefore each participant). This feature makes it easy to use audience response systems for testing, training and assessment.
Sums and displays data immediately
Instantaneous data collection and presentation make your meetings more interesting as participants can gain immediate insight into your presentation topics based on aggregated feedback.
Speeds up decision making
Instant access to polling data also makes decision-making quicker. No need to wait for data analysts to run the numbers and make the graphs - the audience response software does it for you on the fly.
Emphasizes participant ownership of group decisions
Because everyone takes part in voting, they can gain consensus and feel confident in decisions reached by the group.
Creates an interactive and fun learning environment

Gathers data for reporting and analysis
In addition to the immediate graphical data generated, more specific data can be collected on the back-end, which can then be exported to a variety of data analysis tools for further study.
Confirms participant understanding of main points immediately
Instant display of data means you can see instantaneously whether or not participants understand the material presented. If they do, you can move ahead confidently. If they don’t, you can spend more time covering those topics.
