Can we imagine a world without technology? Appears worst! In my opinion, technology is a driving force for everything. Without advancement in technology; everything becomes lifeless, boring and so deadly routine. Even if a ‘pinch’ of technology gets added into our mundane routines then it can surely bring a ‘spark’ into our lives.

Similar is the case with education system. Technology plays a vital role in taking education system to the next level. A level; where everything is influenced with digital accessories, Audio-visual elements and numerous other teaching tools. Today’s generation is blessed with technologically upgraded gizmos and gadgets.

Amongst these gadgets, Audience Response System is a tremendous teaching solution that has changes the whole face of education system.

What is an Audience Response System?
You must be wondering what an Audience Response System is? An Audience Response System is a battery operated or chargeable handset range by which a presenter asks questions from an audience and then they reply back through their personal handsets. The students' responses are then captured by response system software through the receiver and a report gets generated in the form of table, graph, pie chart etc. Eventually, these reports can be easily displayed on an interactive whiteboards, Touch screens, P.C or on any other projection surface for an audience to see.

Inside the classroom, an Audience Response System can be used by teacher to create new quizzes for students, to prepare mock tests, to introduce real-world scenarios, to identify the weak areas of students and to fetch out their responses and feedbacks.

Genee Response systems are market leading Audience Response Systems which consists of one main teacher handset, and a set of student handsets, one handset receiver and response system software. These are used for carrying out formative and summative assessment in a classroom or lecture room. In other words, it is a highly effective interactive response system that builds up a ‘Two Way Active Communication’ between students and a teacher.

This cutting-edge interactive response system allows yes/no, true/false, numeric and multiple choice answers. Moreover, it can be integrated with PowerPoint to create presentations.

Virtual G-pad is an advance version of Audience Response System which facilitates presenters and teachers to collect share and review real time data from their audience without the requirement of battery operated response systems or clickers. It is interactive response system that has replaced usage of handsets or clickers by an interactive graphic displayed on the screen of any PC, laptop or even handheld platforms (iOS) including iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Moreover, Virtual G- Pad enables students to give responses to questions asked without being physically present in the classroom.
