Term explanation
A personal response system (PRS) — also called an audience response system or clicker system — allows individual participants to respond to questions or vote in polls during a presentation or class. Each participant uses a handheld device or smartphone to submit their answer, and results are aggregated and displayed instantly. PRS technology is used in lectures, corporate training, and conferences to increase participation, gauge understanding, and make sessions more interactive.

They are used to gather specific, factual information quickly and efficiently. In presentations and training settings, closed questions are useful for gauging audience understanding, confirming agreement, or running quick polls. While efficient, they offer little depth and should be balanced with open-ended questions when richer feedback or discussion is needed.
