The Industry Leader in Interactive PowerPoint® Presentation Software
PowerCom® is an ARS (Audience Response System) or GRS (Group Response System) software. It only can be used as a Microsoft Office PowerPoint® add-in, and not be used as stand alone ARS software.
When conducting meetings, trainings and presentations, PowerCom allows you to conduct polls and gather results from the audience. PowerCom is designed for use with the Fleetwood Reply Wireless Group Response hardware system.
By using PowerCom along with the Reply® wireless keypads, you can record polling data and display the resulting data in a graph.
When should use PowerCom
- When a meeting is primarily lecture style
- When want to see and hear what audience thinks
- When a group consensus is desired
- When an individual might dominate the discussion
- When want to create an interactive meeting environment
- When concrete meeting results are important
- When many meeting objectives are on the table and little time is allocated to results (You can accomplish a lot more in the time allotted)
- When a permanent record of the meeting results is important
- When want to add some fun and entertainment to the meeting
What PowerCom can do
PowerCom establishes a data communication link between PowerPoint and the wireless keypads via the base station.
Once a connection as this is established you can:
- Design a four-step Polling Wizard for a Question slide to define how the answer from each keypad will be organized and presented in a result graph as answer summary at end of the voting. Optionally you can choose to skip the result display. Please see the Poller Wizard topic for more details.
- Configure base station Com Port, channel number, set voting parameters, set keypad range and test keypad.
- Conduct voting with or without the physical keypad. In demo mode keypad is not used. Display result summary for each question slide at the end of voting. Conduct OLAP data analysis by Demographic question.
- Generate PowerCom reports after a slide presentation is completed. Export voting results and redisplay voting results in a graph presentation.
