Polling can be a simple way to check in with students, whether you want to see what they’re thinking, spark discussion, or get quick feedback. In this session, we’ll walk through two Berkeley supported tools, iClicker Cloud and Poll Everywhere, and show how they work with bCourses and your slides. You’ll get a feel for how to set things up, try a few sample polls, and hear tips for using them in inclusive and engaging ways.
No experience needed, just bring your questions and curiosity!
This session will run for 45 minutes, with an additional 15 minutes reserved for questions.
