Create polls with Polling @ McGill

Slido is an easy-to-use Q&A and polling platform for live, online and blended courses, meetings, events, and webinars. It allows you to:

  • Keep your students engaged with live polls, quizzes, and interactive Q&A, all without downloading apps or leaving your slide presentation.

  • Use live polls or quizzes to check if your students are keeping up with the lecture. 

  • Alleviate students’ fear of asking questions in front of the class. 

  • Ask students for feedback with simple surveys, and see how your students vote and participate over time.
