Carol,
Be sure to look up the learning research on those systems. New approaches
may have been developed since the 90s and with gaming applications, there
may now certainly be strategies that make them rich learning experiences.
The early studies in formal education and some of the early systems in
informal learning environment (I did one at the St. Louis Science Center in
about 1994) did not show evidence of learning or even much satisfaction
among visitors. That doesn't mean that there have not been new approaches
that work better! But, you may want to look to make certain the technical
system you get has the capacbilities that the learning studies show are
important.
Hope you find just the system for you.
Best Regards,
Carey

Hi all,
I'm doing some preliminary research into audience response systems that
could be implemented in a new indoor theater we are currently building. Any
and all advice is welcome!! Do you have such a system? What brands should
I be looking at/avoiding? Things to consider, issues, etc.
Thanks!
