Audience Response Systems from Group Dynamics

The use of an Audience Response System and Interactive Voting in a meeting increases the effectiveness, enjoyment and overall success of an event, conference or seminar. There are a myriad of different applications and uses, but they all stem from a simple method:

- Give everyone a keypad or handset

- Ask them to press some buttons

- See and share the results immediately

Additional features such as text voting give everyone a voice aswell as a vote, enabling complete, but controlled, interaction with your audience.

Whether you're looking for "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" style quiz nights, staff surveys, participatory budgeting, brainstorming ideas, public consultation or teambuilding, the audience response systems from Group Dynamics can enliven and enrich your conferences and events.

For audiences from 5 to 5,000, audience response equals better meetings. Feel free to browse our website or contact us to find out more!

Audience Response - The Thermometer

The majority of voting systems are used as a simple electronic thermometer. Taking the temperature of an audience on a particular topic and feeding it back is very useful. It is a vital instrument in confirming everything is OK or spotting that something is not right. But the thermometer can’t cure anything on its own, it just tells you if something needs attention.

So, how do you find out what it is that’s going wrong? And how do you fix it?

What’s in a name? Terminology for a technology.

Group Dynamics have been in this industry for over 25 years now, and we have seen many technologies (and companies!) come and go.

What we have also seen is a proliferation of terminology that has come out into the marketplace to describe or define the systems themselves.

What are they?

The Letter "i"

The letter "i" might not seem especially relevant to a supplier of Audience Response Systems, but there are four words that begin with this letter that are right at the heart of what we do here at Group Dynamics.

Onscreen Charting

You can often be unsure if everyone in your audience can see the main screen, and whether the questions have been understood correctly. Our Messenger handset resolves this problem with its ability to display both the question and the options on each handset before and during a vote.

Additionally, it allows audience response feedback such as onscreen charting. As soon as a vote has completed, charts can be sent to each individual LCD screen. This powerful feature is an incredibly useful tool during an event as it allows participants to refer to results even after they have disappeared from the main screen.

Branding

Much more than just a voting system, the Messenger can display logos or information during a session. These can be changed as often as necessary throughout the course of the day, and we can even create them for you there and then.

Presenters can even use them to show key points for every single slide in their presentation if they want to!
