Poll Everywhere is a dynamic online polling platform that enables an instructor or presenter to survey an audience during an event and display the results in real time. It allows students to vote on custom teacher-generated polls through text messaging (SMS), smartphone, or computer by visiting the website.
The answer can be input in a variety of ways including multiple choice, true/false, open-ended responses, Q&A, picture recognition and selection, matching, ranking, timed questions for competitions, etc.
Rapid feedback allows instructors to engage with and evaluate answers from students in a manner that progresses lessons and has the potential to introduce positive effects on the learning experience of students.
