Poll Everywhere is an audience response system used typically during live lecture presentations. Engaging students and assessing knowledge can prove difficult outside of the traditional classroom especially during synchronous live lecture sessions. Because of its mobile-based design, Poll Everywhere eliminates the need for hardware devices or clickers which allows responses from anyone at any location as long as they have internet access and a link to the poll. Questions or “polls” can be added to involve learners and gauge their comprehension of the material being presented and responses are available immediately. This course will teach you how to use Poll Everywhere and how to embed the system in your existing Powerpoints. The course will also discuss creative methods of using Poll Everywhere’s features in addition to employing standard multiple choice questioning.
