The speaking skill of a lecturer is an important factor for presenting in a clear and interesting way. Understanding the needs of listeners and accommodating those needs can help increase engagement.
PRAISE facilitates communication between presenter and audience to create feedback. During a presentation the audience is able to express their level of engagement which is communicated to the presenter. Afterwards a discussion is initiated on key moments where engagement was especially high or low. Afterwards, the information gathered is used to generate clear and relevant feedback supported by data from the presentation and discussion. The feedback can be accessed quickly, or be explored in more detail.
The system is modular, allowing for the choice of more complex or simplified displays during the presentation and reflection. The system is also suitable for online lectures, where getting an idea of the level of engagement of the audience may be more difficult.
