In-Depth Information
of cloud voting service is public events. Whether large or small, indoor or outdoor,
audience voting in public events has become a trend. For example, New Year
countdown shows, concerts, political gatherings, or government-held events usually
last for hours and are attended by large crowds of audiences. Occasional audience
interactions via cloud voting using their personal cell phones create an innovative
and entertaining atmosphere within these events.
9.5 Conclusions
In this article, an incremental innovation of PRS has been described as an achievable,
short-term technology integration for potentially profitable business opportunities.
Although cloud voting service is a specialized service, it demonstrates how
technologies can enable the transformation of a traditional product or service into a
new business model. Furthermore, its influence can be sufficiently significant in
changing the instructional design or classroom practices in different levels of the
educational system. The influence of PRS may be sufficiently wide to be popularly
used in many business routines that would have never considered before using such a
service.
