Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere - In-Class Polls and Questions
Poll Everywhere allows you to insert questions directly into presentations so your students can respond live, in real time. It can be used for knowledge checks, student engagement and formal assessments. Poll Everywhere gives students an inclusive way to participate using their own device.
How it works:
- Create activities like multiple choice questions, or ask open ended questions and insert them directly into your existing presentations. (Learn more about question types.)
- Students respond live by visiting your own custom URL and the results appear instantaneously in the presentation.
- Run reports to gather feedback or find trends over time.
- Connect to Canvas so scores and participation grades can be automatically incorporated into the gradebook.
