How to Get Real Time Feedback from Your Apprentices during a Lecture

Giving a lecture can be a difficult task, but it's important to know if your apprentices are absorbing the material you are presenting. One of the best ways to get real-time feedback during a lecture is to use a live survey. Live surveys allow you to poll your apprentices in real-time so you can determine if they are understanding the lecture and make any necessary adjustments on the fly. In this blog post, we'll discuss how to effectively use a live survey to get real-time feedback from your apprentices during a lecture.

The value of real time feedback

Getting real-time feedback from your apprentices during a lecture is a great way to ensure that they are engaged and understand the material. It can also help you adjust your teaching methods and identify areas of improvement. Live surveys are an excellent tool to help accomplish this goal. A live survey allows you to ask questions throughout the lecture and receive instant feedback from your apprentices. The survey can be as simple or detailed as you want, including short-answer questions, multiple-choice questions, or even open-ended questions. This flexibility allows you to tailor the survey to the subject matter and your apprentices’ learning styles.

Why use a live survey?

Live surveys offer an easy and effective way to get real-time feedback from your apprentices during a lecture. Unlike traditional methods of collecting feedback such as paper surveys or feedback forms, live surveys allow you to quickly and easily measure the understanding and engagement of your apprentices in real-time. By leveraging a live survey tool, you can ask multiple questions, gauge response rates, and make informed decisions about the content being delivered in your lecture.

A live survey is also beneficial for providing immediate feedback that is actionable. For example, if you pose a question during the lecture and receive a low level of comprehension from your apprentices, you can adjust the content on the spot. This allows for more effective teaching and learning, and ensures that everyone in the room is engaged with the material.

In addition, using a live survey gives you valuable insight into how your apprentices are thinking and how they are responding to the lecture material. This can help you identify areas of improvement and refine your teaching style, while also giving your apprentices the chance to give their opinion on how well they understand the material.

How to use a live survey

Creating a live survey is simple and straightforward. The first step is to determine which questions you want to ask. You may opt for multiple-choice questions if you would like a quick response from your apprentices, while open-ended questions are better suited for exploring complex topics. You should also consider your time constraints when designing your survey and make sure that your questions are succinct and relevant to the lecture. Once you have determined the type of questions to include in your survey, it’s time to decide on a platform for administering it. There are many different platforms available for creating and running live surveys, such as Sendsteps. Finally, don’t forget to explain the purpose of the survey to your apprentices before you begin collecting responses. Let them know that their responses will remain anonymous and will help you ensure that everyone gets the most out of the lecture.

In conclusion, a live survey is a great way to get real-time feedback from your apprentices during a lecture. It is easy to set up and can be done quickly. Not only does it give you instant feedback on how your apprentices are doing, but it also provides valuable insight into the overall effectiveness of your lecture. This information can be used to make adjustments and ensure that your apprentices are getting the most out of their learning experience.
