Poll Everywhere is a web-based system that can be used both in and outside of the classroom to create multiple-choice or open-answer polls. Students do not need a separate dedicated device (clicker) to participate. Students can submit responses via text message or using a browser on their laptop or another Internet-connected device. Instructors use a simple web form to create either multiple-choice or open-text questions. Polls can be embedded in PowerPoint or Keynote presentations, displayed in a web browser, or embedded in a course web site. GTPE owns a number of licenses.
Presented by Dr. Shabana Figueroa, Sr. Instructional Designer
