For projects needing an ‘ask the audience’ system like TV’s Who Want’s To Be A Millionaire, the technology is now readily available to install in the classroom or meeting place.
Teachers, lecturers and presenters can now play the part of Chris Tarrant and get instant results and feedback from their audience.
Smarter Interactive supplies two of the market leading interactive conferencing systems -
- TurningPoint, a pupil response system designed for education that integrates in to Microsoft® PowerPoint® letting audiences take part in presentations or lectures by submitting responses to interactive questions with a personal keypad or other hand-held/computer devices. TurningPoint changes PowerPoint presentations in to powerful data collection and assessment tools that collect real-time audience responses and dramatically improve productivity. Author, deliver, assess and report without ever leaving PowerPoint®.
- A similar system is The Senteo classroom assessment system designed to enhance interactive teaching. Teachers can display or speak prepared or ad hoc questions that students anonymously answer with their personal remote. Responses are tallied and displayed by a projection or interactive whiteboard. Results are immediate, allowing instant and relevant feedback on presentation understanding.
Luckily neither system rewards any students or trainees with money.
