Generally it is a good idea to break the flow of presentations from stage with an involving question to the audience. This could be a question like: “Now you’ve heard my views, what do you think?” – followed by a specific question to be answered.
The Wizer platform support many kinds of questions as standard: all forms of multiple choice questions as well as different ways of rating or ranking statements or other factors.
Still, the key to great audience response sessions is not the technical part. It is the design of questions that gives you the feedback you want. Your questions should enrich the reflections rather than blocking them.
You should be able to design questions that engage the participants in transforming general points into specific learnings, for example: “What does this specific change mean for my work in my country?”
At Wizerize we have extensive experience in formulating questions that trigger the reflections and learnings that we want – and that work well with multicultural audiences from all parts of the world.
1: This is the standard multiple choice model, which can be varied endlessly (number of options, response texts, etc.). |
2: Example of slightly more advanced variant where – in this example – participants answer nine questions in one round. |
3: Example of voting via “rank order.” Participants “drag & drop” all statements until the order is right – then send in the response. |
4: Example of ranking where participants focus on the strongest three and weakest three statements. |
