Collaborations software offers activities are intentionally simple, but require individuals to work together to achieve a goal. The Maze activity asks participants to move an object through a maze. However, participants are all controlling the object with individual input from ResponseCards, making it a team effort. The Pong activity is similar to the original video game. Participants are divided into two teams, but each member of a team is controlling the same paddle with individual input from ResponseCards. Lastly, the Pattern activity asks a group to create a single image using color or shape palettes, each submitting individual input via ResponseCards. All three exercises allow participants and instructors to better understand the characteristics of team effectiveness.

MEDIA-NET Sermetra

Since 1994, this consortium of Italian small businesses have teamed up to provide Italy with a network of innovative, high-tech resources around transportation and automotive regulations and industry administration. Together they offer services and professional solutions for the automotive market.

Students in driving classes are asked to work through a series of exercises using ResponseCard keypads to respond. True/False quizzes are projected on screen and given during class, revealing correct answers while tracking individual student progress. Any at-home quizzes are synchronized with in-class quizzes to create a complete profile for each student. One of the most engaging activities is the "response times" application. The software displays video of a car dashboard. Obstacles such as animals on the road will appear throughout the video and the participant will have to press a button on the ResponseCard keypad as quickly as possible, simulating brakes. At the end, the program shows the ranking with response times of individual students.

Founded in 1982, Northeastern's College of Computer and Information Science was the first college in the nation devoted to Computer Science and degree programs in Information Science. As an independent college within a large university, they have the agility to form interdisciplinary programs with all other academic units.

Northeastern University has created an automated group counseling agent in avatar form. In order to engage the agent in dialogue, Turning Technologies' response solutions have been integrated into the program. The agent is projected on screen in addition to possible response choices. Participants select responses and the agent dynamically reacts with synthesized speech and animation. Three modes are available: all response where the agent's response is contingent on overall input from all users; one response where one user is asked a question and the agent responds based on the one user's response; and volunteer response where the agent gives individuals the floor to volunteer responses to the group.

Leiden University Medical Center

The Leiden University Medical Center in Leiden, Netherlands, offers study programs that vary from the university study programs in Medicine or Biomedical Sciences to the anesthetics assistant study program, from the Medical specialist study program to the Specialist nursing study program, and from postgraduate continued training and instruction courses for doctors to resuscitation courses. The LUMC has a long tradition in developing e-learning and hosts MedicalEducation.nl, the national hub for medical e-learning in the Netherlands. The organization has been using Turning Technologies' ResponseCards in teaching activities for five years and developed several applications, including an audience thermometer and web-based form.

The audience thermometer is an application which enables the audience to respond at any time. It can be used to measure the "mood" of the audience, or its (change in) viewpoint during a debate. If the audience stops responding, or if the responses become balanced, the thermometer gradually goes to the zero mark, or the smiley gradually gets a "neutral" face. Positive and negative moods are distinguished by color. In a public debate, the audience can express its viewpoint and change it at any time on a thesis using the 1, 2, 3 keys (pro, neutral, con). The overall viewpoint is shown as a balance. The application generates an instruction sheet for the audience that reflects the actual settings of the application. The teacher can see a curve of overall response value vs. time. Teachers can also view "demographics," showing thermometers, smileys or balances for multiple groups.

Most of the e-learning programs are web-based and many contain form elements. One application allows a group of students to answer questions in a web-based form and play against pre-recorded games of other students. The teacher can see a small graph of the responses. If votes are stalled, the teacher can force an answer, or the program can randomly select one. Multiple questions on one page are processed sequentially. Starting/stopping of the poll can be done manually or automatically. After the poll, the application can automatically jump to the next question or submit the form. If the next web page is a form again, the whole process starts all over. The session can be logged for later analysis.
