Audience Response Systems

Audience Response Systems (ARS) also referred as Electronic Voting Systems, Electronic Testing Systems etc

ARS have made great improvements since things started becoming digital and wireless. Previously we used to have very expensive wired systems that were generally a part of permanent installations. Now a days wireless Systems are being used for big gatherings of thousands and in education institutions for tests and other meetings. These days a typical wireless ARS consists of a computer with special software and ports to connect signal receivers and many small ( a little larger than a credit card) remote transmitters with buttons for multi choice selections. The presentation slides for the audience response can be tailored according to the needs. It can simply True false, Yestno or bsatin choices or selection of right or wrong answers. The response of the audience can instantly be recorded and displayed on the screen with many type of charts, tables etc. We can also have information of each audience recorded and can find out how any individual or groups responded. There are quite a few manufacturers of ARS and we are waiting for detailed articles posted by manufacturers around the globe.
