About polls
Polls are one-question-at-a-time surveys that event leaders and co-presenters can give to
participants during a session. Poll responses are instantly displayed to the leader and
are presented in a graphical form.
Note: Leaders and co-presenters cannot participate in
the polls in a session.
Event leaders or co-presenters can use polls during a session to:
- Give polls to participants and view an instant graph of responses.
- Solicit pacing and comprehension feedback.
Event leaders, co-presenters, and breakout room leaders (Classroom events only) can create polls using the Poll tool available from within the App client at any time during a session.
As a leader or co-presenters you can create two type of questions:
- Multiple choice questions: Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) are a form of assessment where participants are asked to select the correct answer(s) from a list of possible options.
- Word Cloud Poll: Word Cloud Poll is a dynamic and visually engaging way to collect and display participants input. Participants can submit single words or short phrases, and their responses will automatically generate a live word cloud, where frequently mentioned terms appear larger.
You can create polls before or after starting a session. While in session, you can create a poll using the Poll tool. To create a poll before a session, use the Agenda Builder.
You can choose to show poll results to all participants or hide them. You can save poll results locally, so they are available after the session ends.
