    People try harder when it’s a competition. Take advantage of the competitive spirit of your trainees by adding a scoreboard to the quiz.

Start off with basic engagement-elements​

Quizzes, surveys and voting-sessions provide an easy-to-take, easy-to-collect way to gauge the incoming trainees’ knowledge, but also personal insights that help trainers break the ice and connect with their audience. A few questions about the training topic, mixed in with a “how are you feeling today” question with corresponding emoticons adds an engaging touch to an otherwise corporate function.

Imagine displaying the collective emotional state of the audience in real-time and using that to soften them up with humor or other personal transition.

Take interactivity in your training to a new level​

During the training itself, the online quiz software allows you to use in-progress check-ups, allowing facilitators to make sure they’re imparting the information they need to. These mid-stream quizzes can be gamified to engage trainees, and reduce perceived seriousness, while helping trainers collect vital feedback. Predefine a whole range of personalized interactions with the quiz maker to help your trainees without you having to follow up constantly:

  • bullet orange

    Add informative screens within your quizzes

  • bullet orange

    Allow trainees to see their scores and find out what the correct answers were

  • bullet orange

    Redirect them to additional course materials or examples

  • bullet orange

    Create automated emails with extra info, tips, certificates or their scores

  • bullet orange

    Reward high scores with an extra incentive

Start up a discussion, keep scores, or mix things up with a live voting session, to keep your audience engaged to the fullest. A live view of the incoming results can easily be used in your courses with the Presentation Mode.

With a screen that automatically refreshes and that can be adapted to show only the results you want to discuss, this is integrated into your classes in minutes!

Post-training: professional quizzes help employees retain information

Making sure that employees retain the knowledge they acquired during a training session is as important as the training itself. Some studies report that after just one week the average employee retains only 80% of what they were taught. This rate steadily falls until, months later, as little as 10-20% remains.

Establishing a fun yet personal “Quiz Culture” can substantially slow these rates down. Our assessment software can be combined with interactive solutions like personalized emails after certain periods of time, giving access to new course-subjects, rewarding good grades with incentives and more.

You can individualize your monitoring to assess a given employee’s knowledge. Pointerpro makes it easy to keep this connection subtle. Using fun ‘pop quizzes’ that entertain employees is a great way to assess their knowledge while establishing your corporate culture.

Engage before, during and after training sessions

Designing any training with quizzing software should ideally incorporate an up-to-the-minute quiz of the attendees’ knowledge, attitudes, biases, and other factors. Trainers use our quiz generator software to design training modules that feel relevant and customized for each respondent, instead of covering basic information that the majority of your attendees might already know.
