Poll Everywhere
If you are presenting at a conference, conducting a meeting, or teaching a class, you may want to get answers, opinions or suggestions from your audience in real time. Instead of asking for a show of hands, consider using Poll Everywhere.

Poll Everywhere is an audience response tool that can be used for polls, surveys and quizzes. A wide variety of question types are available including Q&A, multiple choice, open-ended, word cloud, spotlight, rank order and competitions.

Your audience does not need Poll Everywhere accounts to respond. They can use computers, tablets or phones to respond, and can do so with web browsers, apps and texting. Respondents have the option to remain anonymous, create their own alias name, or use Poll Everywhere accounts. As the presenter, all responses will be saved in your Poll Everywhere account.

More information is available on the Poll Everywhere page on the eCampus website. To request your SJSU Poll Everywhere Presenter account, please complete the  Poll Everywhere Request form.
