Question Styles for Audience Response

There are lots of question types available – which type you use for any particular question depends on how you want your audience to respond and how you wish to see the results.

Additionally you can allow the audience to change their mind during a vote, or only accept their first answer.

 

 

The audience can choose one option out those presented. The number of options is only limited by the size of the screen and legibility. There may or may not be a correct answer.

 

Since we know what each handset has answered, we can easily set up quizzes and tests. These might be fun motivational exercises or more serious assessments of your products/services. Delegates can be scored both as individuals and as part of a team. Scores are assigned to the correct answers (which can be highlighted on the results screen) and the speed of response can be used to avoid tie-breaks.

There are a wide variety of quiz styles and scoring options available. Feel free to jump to the Quizzes section to find out more.

 

The audience have to put a series of options into an order of preference, prioritising the options according to importance, relevance, etc, and the order in which they vote is weighted and taken into account when generating the results chart.

You can also use this style of audience response question in a quiz by putting a series of options into a correct order (chronological, size, etc.)

 

A polarity vote allows the audience to choose two extremes out of a list. The first choice receives a positive score and the second a negative one.

 

The audience grade the options according to a scale. An average score is calculated for each option allowing them to be instantly compared.

 

You can also score each item on two different scales at the same time allowing more complex scenarios to be explored.

 

The audience choose to agree or disagree with a series of statements.These can be especially useful in council or shareholder meetings and you can quickly determine whether a consensus has been reached on a set of topics. Demographic questions and comparisons give you the ability to analyse your audience’s responses and generate further interest in your event.

How many types of question should I use in my presentation?

Although there are many different styles available, it is far easier for the audience if you only use a few in each session.

Our expert consultant technicians will be happy to help and advise to exploit the full potential of our audience response system at your event.

Sample Client Testimonial

"The pre-event support we received from the technician and other members of the Group Dynamics team was excellent.

The support the technician provided on the day was also excellent.  She arrived on time and immediately became a member of the events team, assisting us with set up and take down of the voting pads equipment.

Throughout the day she remained cool, calm and collected and provided first class support.  It was a real asset having a true “expert” in our midst as she was able to deal with any questions and queries from presenters or the events team.

Having the technician there was definitely of benefit to us on the day, and meant that the events team were able to concentrate on other event arrangements.  The technician worked closely with my colleague to support her throughout the afternoon and she has said that the level of support provided by the technician enabled her to feel 'safe and supported."
