Training Masters' KlickerZ software and hand-held remote units are effective teaching tools for businesses and organizations. Any presentation can be enhanced by using KlickerZ to create an energized, interactive environment. Adding interactive questions to PowerPoint® programs makes them much more engaging, since participants are actively involved. Compare that to typical presentations during which audience members simply gaze at a screen and refer to their handouts. The presenter and the audience can instantly review response statistics which enhances interest and stimulates discussion.
KlickerZ software contains several applications.
The Quiz Program is used to create interactive quizzes to be presented to groups. Users create banks of multiple choice or true-false questions and store them on a hard drive or removable media. Quizzes can then be constructed simply by selecting questions from the files. Different versions of a quiz can easily be created for different groups. As the quiz is presented, individual or group responses or scores can be displayed and reviewed. Running totals are stored and final scores can be saved. Using the quiz as a training or meeting review is an effective application of this feature of KlickerZ.
The First Response Game Program operates very much like the quiz program. However, when the first response to a question is received, the rest of the participants are locked out. If that first response is correct, the person is given one point and the presenter starts the process again by moving on to the next question. If the first response is incorrect, that person is locked out and the others are given a chance to respond, since they will not know how the first participant answered. The procedure is continued until a correct response is obtained. Scores are constantly updated and are visible at all times on the screen. The game feature of KlickerZ can be used to reinforce understanding in an enjoyable, engaging way.
The PowerPoint Add-in Program is easy to use and makes PowerPoint presentations come alive! Place questions and question buttons on any slide. Participants respond using their remote control units. The presenter can reveal individual or group responses at any time. Insert a totals button on any screen, and use it to reveal total scores anytime throughout the program. Participants' scores can be shown in a bar graph at any time. Question and totals buttons can be added to screens in programs that already exist or can be added as new programs are created.
KlickerZ can help you develop a fantastic bank of shareware! Organizations can post their KlickerZ programs at Training Masters' Forum, enabling other trainers or managers to have access to them. A secure area of the forum can be created for any organization that wants to limit sharing to its own staff members, or they can post and share with the world! Imagine what an incredible resource library trainers can have at their fingertips! Contact Training Masters to set up your organization's secure area on our forum.
The potential uses for KlickerZ are limited only by one's imagination. Trainers or corporate personnel responsible for staff development and other meetings can enhance participation and interest by developing presentations that incorporate the use of KlickerZ. Whenever PowerPoint is used, KlickerZ can make it more effective. Anytime the involvement of participants is desired, KlickerZ can make the program more effective. Whether it's in a training session with employees, a staff meeting, a general session or annual meeting, virtually anytime feedback is desired, KlickerZ can add that interactive dimension that can make your presentation a success!
Remote control kits are available with either 24 or 36 units, and include an infrared receiver, a long cable, a serial connector and 2 AA batteries for each remote. Serial to USB adaptors are available, if needed. The KlickerZ software and a comprehensive instruction manual can be downloaded from our website.
