For GM Health, PowerVote is a real asset for training
The interactive voting solution allows for real-time monitoring of understanding and skills
This press group specialised in the health sector is at the leading edge of medical training for doctors. It is therefore important, during meetings organised by the group, to evaluate the doctors’ knowledge level before and after each session.
By considering the pre-test results, the instructor can organise their training session differently in order to optimise training. In addition, transferring the results to Microsoft Excel allows the instructor to analyse the entirety of the results following each session and thereby continuously improve instruction. “We process the data in such a way so as to adapt our training sessions and teaching aids,” explains the organisers of these events.
… and allow participants to express themselves anonymously
Thanks to the electronic voting keypads, “everyone can express themself anonymously and without being embarrassed, via voting”. Instructors are provided with an immediate consolidation of the participants’ results. GM Health’s training director also points out that interactivity greatly increases student participation, which in turn increases feedback and therefore improves the appeal of the training course. Before using the PowerVote solution, evaluations were carried out via paper questionnaires before and after each session. All results then needed to be recorded and the questionnaires returned to the participants. Electronic voting appealed to the events’ organisers: “We continue to work with PowerVote depending on our needs.”
A single solution for a variety of events
This turnkey solution was the best fit for this large group. The interactive voting system has been used since 2008 for the group’s regional meetings, as well as during its sessions, lunch discussions, conference workshops, etc. The number of participants varies between 30 and 200 people. “This solution provides both technical support and flexibility with regard to the number of voting keypads, up to 72 hours before the meeting,” underlines the director of the group’s conference department.
