Usng+Audience+Response+with+the+iPAD

An ARS allows large groups of people to vote on a topic or answer a question. Each person has a remote control with which selections can be made. Each remote communicates with a computer via receivers located around the room or via a single receiver connected to the presenter's computer using a USB connector. After a set time - or when all participants have answered - the system ends the polling for that particular question and tabulates the results. Typically, the results are instantly made available to the participants via a bar graph displayed on the projector. In situations where tracking is required, the serial number of each remote control or the students identity number is entered beforehand in the control computer's database. In this way the answer of each individual can later be identified. (from Wikipedia)
 * What is Audience Response (ARS)?**

Audience Response Systems need internet connectivity to send messages either between iPADS or between iPADS and a laptop. Some services are accessed through the web browser to send responses.
