>> Studies have shown the use of interactive teaching methods in the classroom can significantly increase employee learning.

Improving the corporate learning environment

Research has shown that a key trait common to highly regarded instructors is their ability to engage students, which keeps them alert, focused and involved. One of the best methods of accomplishing this is to provide interesting sessions, creative activities, and open discussions that encourage all employees to participate.


Beyond Question is an interactive employee response system that provides the tools needed to actively engage every person in the classroom. By using wireless response devices, employees are eager to participate in class discussions and surveys. Subject matter reviews can be given to assure that the material is being learned. Automatic scoring reduces the trainer's workload, freeing up valuable time that can be better spent elsewhere.



Employees can answer multiple choice, true-false, yes-no and survey style questions that the instructor presents to the class. Once the employees have responded, the results can be displayed providing feedback to both the instructor and the class. Correct answers help build employee confidence and errors can be immediately corrected. The instructor can modify the pace of the training, in real-time, to match the needs of the class.

Top Corporate Trainer Challenges:

Managing employee logistics -
It can be difficult getting employees to class on time, in their seats and prepared for training, without distracting others.

Keeping employees focused and alert - employees have difficulty keeping attentive during one-way training sessions.

Motivating employees -
Some employees are genuinely interested in the subject matter, but many are required to take it as continuing education.

Encouraging employee participation - Management hierarchy and employee diversity limits the ability to have employees actively participate.

Engaging shy employees -
Nobody wants to "look stupid" or ask "dumb questions" in front of their peers. Many will just wait and hope the instructor tells them the answer.

Assessing employee's knowledge -
Determining if the employees are "getting it" and can apply what they have learned.

Maximizing class time usage -
Am I going too fast or too slow? Are they prepared? Should I spend more time on this?
