ARS is commonly used in schools and colleges to help teachers check for understanding during lectures, as well as to take attendance or grade answers in large classrooms. It is also widely used for training and presentations in the workplace. The data collected can be anonymous or traced to individual participants, depending on the presenter’s needs. It can be loaded manually or via API into a learning management system (LMS).
