Audience Response Systems and Touch Pad Technology: Their Role in CME
Liane Blandford
Jocelyn Lockyer

A b s t r a c t

Audience response systems, often referred to as touch pad technology (TPT), consist of many small calculator sized response pads, which are linked to a central computer and an audio visual display. Teachers can use TPT to ask a series of multiple choice or true false questions to which the audience respond. Responses are presented graphically on a screen and used in teaching. This article discusses TPT and its potential role in adult learning, lists a number of questions to consider when determining the utility of TPT for a specific course, discusses question development, and suggests directions for evaluating the technology in future applications so that CME professionals can begin to determine its appropriate role in contemporary CME.
