This is the Poll Everywhere section of the Resources Hub. Poll Everywhere is the live audience response tool used at the University of Lincoln.
On the surface, Poll Everywhere is a simple application that works well for live audiences using mobile devices like phones. People participate by visiting a fast mobile-friendly web page for your event or sending text messages. Instructions are displayed on-screen. The poll that is embedded within the presentation or web page will update in real time.
Advanced uses include gamified competitions and embedding Poll Everywhere questions into your PowerPoint presentation.
