Abstract:
We report on our experience at the highly interactive special session "General Cardiology Hangout" at the 63rd Annual Scientific Session of the Japanese College of Cardiology, in which the e-portfolio system of Tokyo Medical University and a personal response system (PRS) were used to collect real-time free comments and feedback from the audience.
In order to effectively manage an interactive session at an academic meeting by collecting feedback from the audience through a PRS and free comments, it is necessary to train facilitators who have the ability to organically extract and integrate the opinions and feedback from the audience in a relevant matter, and to develop tools that are both more user-friendly and secure.
