Training and testing

Audience response can be used to enhance both the trainer’s and trainee’s experience in the class. From the trainer’s perspective, it allows them to instantly assess knowledge level, or opinions, on the topic being discussed for the day. From the trainee’s perspective, it allows them to instantly see, in a non-threatening format, their knowledge level on the subject matter in comparison to their peers. This format will many times give students the confidence to question the instructor on the subject.

The system provides a method to quickly test and instantly evaluate the trainees’ knowledge level on your topic. Responses can be tracked by individual or can be anonymous with overall group feedback. Response data can be fed back to the group, or simply saved and tracked for later viewing and printout.

Test questions can be given different weights for scoring and can be assigned a topic or subject. This allows you to test participants on a variety of topics with the questions in a random order, but receive a report based on how the participants scored by topic. This can help you determine the areas where further instruction is needed.

For making learning fun, you can also divide your audience into teams to turn your testing into a fun, motivational game show style event. Graphics can be instantly produced to show the percentage of each team that answered the question correctly. This percentage becomes their score for the question. Scores are accumulated throughout the game in rounds or overall. Prizes can be awarded to the top scoring team and/or individuals.
