Poll Everywhere
What is Poll Everywhere?
Poll Everywhere is an online polling platform that allows participants and students to vote on custom polls ─ including multiple choice and free response questions ─ in real time.
Presenters can use this tool to engage participants and students in an interactive environment, take attendance, administer quizzes, or gauge understanding.
Poll Everywhere is connected to Canvas, so instructors can import their course roster and then directly export grades from a poll to the gradebook.
Poll Everywhere's New Course Management Feature
On January 6, 2025, Poll Everywhere launched a new Course Management workflow as part of its LTI integration with Canvas. This new feature is designed to streamline your course management tasks and enhance your teaching experience.
