Audience response system provides a mechanism to engage larger groups as active participants in teaching sessions. However, they are traditionally based on 'fixed' closed loop system, which limits their functionality to a single geographical location, thus has the effect of confining their use to universities and other larger institutions, with a primary focus on education. Conversely, in the healthcare education context, the majority of formal education is undertaken through postgraduate training programmes, largely conducted in smaller cohorts in clinical settings.
