what is ARS

  • ARS keeps your audience engaged
    while allowing you to gather the data needed to achieve important business initiatives. Using wireless
    hand-held "voting"
    or polling keypads, audience members can anonymously enter responses and immediately view
    the group's results
    in real-time


  • What is Audience Response?

    ARS allows speakers and presenters to pose multiple-choice questions to audience members throughout an event by projecting them on a screen. Attendees enter answers anonymously, using wireless keypads, and are able to view results within seconds. This means participants can see immediately how their responses and opinions match up with peers and colleagues.

    This interactive technology invites your audience to be engaged, interested, active and most importantly to be a part of the process. Specific knowledge can be tested, opinions openly discussed, lists prioritized, old and new data compared and evaluations completed. All results are then saved in a database to review and analyze following the event.

    “Recent research has shown that ARS can substantially improve the effectiveness of both learning and retention of concepts presented by lectures with greater student/participant satisfaction.”
    —Center for Education and Evaluation of Columbia University, Feb 2003
