What is Poll Everywhere student response tool?

Poll Everywhere is an audience response platform that allows faculty to create and display interactive activities, including multiple choice polls, word clouds, open-ended questions, Q&A, and rankings. Activities can be embedded directly in PowerPoint or Google Slides presentations or displayed through a web browser.

Key things to know:

  • Any device works. Students participate by visiting mobile-friendly pollev.com on any internet-connected smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
  • NinerNET login required. Students access and respond to activities by logging in with their NinerNET credentials at pollev.com.
  • Two different URLs. Instructors create and manage their polls at polleverywhere.com, while students go to pollev.com to participate.
  • Built into Canvas. Poll Everywhere connects to Canvas via LTI, and student NinerNET authentication is what enables grade data to sync directly to the Canvas gradebook.
  • Support and resources. Tutorials, activity templates, and additional guidance are available through the Center for Teaching and Learning's Academic Technologies website.
