Working faster than a Subject Matter Expert on a rapid authoring tool, Now’s statistical super group has been on the Red Bull for a marathon 36 hours now, just to make sure this year’s Learning Technologies exhibitors get a sneaky peak at the #LT13UK Exit Poll before the weekend.

If you’re new to our Exit Poll, here’s the skinny. First we bundle-up the team nice and warm: a good pollster is a happy pollster, although we must admit – a cold pollster does tend to get the job done just a wee bit faster than a warm one!

Armed with no more than the digital gadgetry that’s routinely found on any high street these days, our quartet of questioners beam the thoughts and opinions of the Learning Technologies visitors they talk to over to Now Towers in West London just seconds after they’ve exited the show.

Just a couple of days (and a fair amount of caffeine) later, here’s what the Now number crunchers have come up with.
