ActivEngage

ActivEngage is a virtual Learner Response System that can integrate instant assessment opportunities into any meeting or training session encouraging participants to engage, interact and contribute to discussions real-time.

A Software-Based Learner Response System

ActivEngage is a software-based Learner Response System that enables participants to contribute and respond instantly during training sessions, events and meetings, creating exciting opportunities for collaboration and insightful assessment. ActivEngage maximizes current technology investments and eliminates the need for additional hardware by enabling participants to respond to questions with existing laptops, desktop computers, tablets or mobile handheld devices.

Using Promethean’s included award-winning ActivInspire or ActivOffice software, display a question on an interactive display or ask it verbally, and audience members will respond using the virtual device on their computers or handheld devices. Assign full quizzes of varying difficulty with ActivEngage’s Self-Paced Learning functionality to encourage participants to work at their own pace and comprehension level. Gain instant insight into audience comprehension and progress with an intuitive, integrated application that makes the most of existing technology.

Designed to grow with you, ActivEngage enables virtual voting across a single training room, entire building and beyond. Centrally controlled, secure and scalable, the software-based system can be managed at room-level or on a networked server.
