Do you think your class enrollment is too large to be interactive? AISR will soon have an Audience Response System (ARS) available that may be just what you need. The ARS includes small hand-held units (about the size of a PDA or calculator), a transceiver that collects the responses, and a computer application to organize the results.
Using an ARS can help you better assess how well your students understand the material you're presenting.
- Ask questions of your audience and immediately project a compilation of their responses on a large public screen.
- Tap your audience's feelings, opinions, beliefs, and knowledge, then engage them in a discussion of the results.
- Gauge how well your message is being received, as well as stimulate discussions with your audience on the materials you are presenting.
ARS has been popular in CE/CME use for the past couple of years and a few journal articles have been written about its use. These articles report that the audience feels more involved in the learning process, finds the presentation more interesting and scores higher on questions asked following presentations using ARS than the same presentation without it.
Once the system is delivered (any time now) you'll be able to contact Medical Media Services to arrange for using it in your courses.
