Have you ever worried that your conference presentations are forgettable? Or that your retention rates could be better?
Luckily, there is a dynamic tool that can change not only the memorability of your presentations but also increase adult learning, retention, and even conference attendee engagement. So, what’s this innovative and industry-changing tool? iPads, of course!
iPad use during conferences is known to boost adult learning. People pay closer attention and retain more key information. The enhanced interactive capabilities of tablets provide real results for both attendees and speakers. Read more below to learn why you need to include conference-provided iPads during your presentations.
Engagement
Turn your attendees from drowsy non-participants to engaged, involved, and communicative learners. By engaging your employees with the use of iPads and Option Technologies software, you can transform not only your presentations but your attendees as well. This makes for an all-around enjoyable conference with smooth collaboration and two-way participant-to-speaker conversations.
The best part? It doesn’t matter if you’re speaking to a crowd of a few participants or a few hundred, the right technology can improve and enhance engagement in presentations of all sizes.
Attendees can see slides and meeting content up close on their personal screen. They can answer questions from the presenter, take notes and contribute ideas in real time. iPads provide access to meeting content, agendas and speaker bios. They also boost response rates for “smile sheets” and meeting evaluations.
Gamification
Gamification is one of the most impactful aspects of technology when it comes to adult learning. Gamification adds fun to a presentation and can be executed in a number of ways from quizzes to full blown TV style competition with everyone participating.
With iPads, it’s easy for any and all attendees to get involved and participate in learning games, which will not only boost engagement but retention of knowledge as well. This means your attendees will come away from your conference with a memorable experience and retain more of what they have learned.
Polling
iPads make audience polling an absolute breeze when paired with Option Technologies polling solutions. With this combination, your polling or Q&A section can go far beyond a show of hands or simple “yes or no” questions. Now attendees can contribute best practice ideas and pose important questions to presenters and panelists in real time.
With the right technology, you can not only ask more sophisticated questions moving beyond simple yes/no and “pick a choice” input. You can collect, process and display text based responses from your attendees. This fosters better discussion, engagement, and understanding.
