Poll Everywhere
Poll Everywhere is an online response system that allows users to engage audiences through live online polling, surveys, Q&As, quizzes, word clouds, and more. This tool can be integrated with the Gradebook in any D2L Course.
Getting Started
The Teaching and Learning Center manages WCU’s site license for Poll Everywhere. Anyone can sign into Poll Everywhere with their WCU Credentials, using SSO (single-sign-on). There are two types of users:
- Participants (typically students) can sign into Poll Everywhere and respond to polls and activities. This role is automatically assigned to anyone who signs into Poll Everywhere with their WCU Credentials. Directions for students to login to Poll Everywhere can be found in the Poll Everywhere: Student Login with SSO knowledgebase article.
- Presenters (typically faculty or staff) can create Poll Everywhere Activities and pull user responses to their D2L Gradebook. Users must contact Jessica Drass at jdrass@wcupa.edu to request this account type. Once your request has been fulfilled, you will receive an invitation from Poll Everywhere to join WCUPA’s account. Follow the steps in the Poll Everywhere: Accepting WCUPA’s Poll Everywhere Presenter Invitation knowledgebase article for a step-by-step guide of this process.
