This is an important questions.

Do you use Audience Response Systems because

a-it's "cool"?

b- a sponsor wanted to pay for it? 

c- you want valuable information?

d- you want to encourage interactivity?

The correct answers are c & d.

Here are some simple tips for best practices using AUDIENCE RESPONSE SERVICES 

Effective Audience Response questions challenge each member of the audience on his/her own experience or practical application of knowledge. Careful wording will ensure meaningful results.

ARS questions should be:

  • Brief – Create questions that can be grasped quickly. Provide only as many response choices as needed for your intended purpose.
  • Worthwhile – The audience will become restless and dismiss questions that are too obvious, superficial, or unimportant.
  • Clear – Carefully edit questions to assure maximum clarity.
  • Intriguing – Audiences like to be engaged and challenged; don’t be afraid to cause controversy.
  • Personalized – Questions should be relevant to the individuals in to the group.
