Poll Everywhere

Overview

Poll Everywhere is an audience polling tool that is integrated in specific Bruin Learn courses (based on department licensing). Poll Everywhere enables participants to respond to live polling questions. Instructors can use Poll Everywhere to build interactive polling activities for their classes. Students are able to access and vote on polls using their smartphones (SMS - text messaging supported) or computers.

Primary Benefits

  • Instructors can create polls with many different activity types, including multiple choice questions, word clouds, open-ended questions, clickable image questions, ranking, Q&A, and surveys.
  • Poll Everywhere provides plug-ins and extensions for PowerPoint and Google Slides, enabling seamless integration of Poll Everywhere directly into your presentation slides.
  • Students can respond to poll questions via a link to the web poll or via SMS text message responses.
  • Instructors can sync their course roster and export grades using the Poll Everywhere integration in Bruin Learn.
  • Instructors can set an activity to be completely anonymous or choose to hide screen names for participants.
