Overview
Poll Everywhere is an audience-response tool that allows instructors to collect student responses in real time using a phone, tablet, or computer. It supports multiple-choice questions, word clouds, open-ended responses, clickable images, Q&A, competitions, and other interactive activities. Instructors can use the results to check understanding, encourage participation, gather feedback, and guide class discussion.
Get Started
In the Classroom
Poll Everywhere is an interactive polling software that supports active learning and formative assessment by:
- Inviting every student to participate in instructor created in-class polls, knowledge checks, and other low-stakes activities
- Making student thinking visible in real time so instructors can address questions and misconceptions during learning
- Creating opportunities for reflection and discussion using anonymous or identified responses, as appropriate for the activity

Reviews
Poll Everywhere appears to engage my students more than asking to share with the whole group during prompts.
Excellent for collecting and upvoting questions for a speaker during a presentation!
Great tool to enhance interactivity in class and to use as a check-in for stress levels prior to class.
PollEV is handy for the number of polling options it offers and for the customize-able nature of its activities. My critiques are twofold: sometimes, the nature of the interface can make it complex to use. When I want to launch an activity in class, I frequently find myself clicking the wrong buttons or accidentally closing a window/ access to student data. It's not straightforward to operate, and there are a lot of ways to go wrong / click wrong in the moment. Second, there is a "fun" factor missing in the formatting of PollEV. I often prefer platforms like Kahoot or PlayFactile, just because of the sheer number of sound effects, animations, that brighten a class activity. PollEV is more professional as a tool, but less exciting to use.
I wish there was a pleasant, straightforward way to integrate response frequency/correctness directly into the Gradebook in Collab.
Polleverywhere is a bit clunky with very restrictive options. It serves a basic purpose for classroom interaction but systems like MobLab are better suited to create more engaging classroom interaction with more meaningful questions.
