Overview
Poll Everywhere is a web-based student response system that allows students to engage in interactive polls and short surveys in both face-to-face and online classes. Using mobile devices, Poll Everywhere enables students to respond anonymously, allowing interaction between peers and generating opportunities for reflection and discussion. Students can participate using their laptops, phones, or other personal devices by following links to activities in a web browser or app. The results can be collated and updated instantly and shared with the class.
