A personal response system is a system of hardware and software that captures answers to questions in proprietary presentation software, such as Microsoft PowerPoint. The hardware is a handheld transmitter that sends and receives data via a wireless infra-red signal (much like a TV remote control handset). The system allows the presenter to ask the audience questions, (usually multiple choice [MCQ] or MCQ derivatives such as True\/False, Yes\/No) and for the audience to select their answer by using the handset. The results can then be viewed in real-time via the presentation software.
\nIn an educational context, the presenter would be a teacher and the audience would be students. Personal response systems have been used successfully in lecture theatres for some time.
