Set up Polling @ McGill

1

Before your class

Consider the engagement activities (e.g., Question types, Q&A) you would like to include in your event (i.e., course lecture). Then:

• Create an event

  • Choose a name or event code

  • Modify the Privacy Settings to suit your teaching needs
    Consider whether participation will be tracked or anonymous. 

  • Ensure the polls are available for the correct date and time

  • Share polls with other instructors or TAs
    When teaching multiple sections with other instructors, it is possible to pool and share questions.

• Create polls

• Practice and test your event

• Reset your event

• Duplicate your event
  Duplicating your event may be helpful when teaching multiple sections of the same course.

• Choose how to run the event by reviewing the requirements and advantages of these options:

  • Internet browser

  • Slido Switcher

  • PowerPoint integration (for PC only)
