[ARCHIVED] Polling

[lsmith23]

Is there a polling link available for Professors to ask questions such as how familiar you are with a particular subject?

Here's a great answer by  @9927744  to the same question.

Hello Marc Coronado and welcome to the Community; we're glad you're here!  I first thought of Likert scale polls when I read your question, and thought of this document:  How do I create Likert scale quiz questions?  

Also, a similar question was answered earlier (Quizes and surveys ).  If the first link didn't help, maybe this one will.  🙂

Please feel free to reach out again if this doesn't answer your question.

Surveys built within Canvas Quizzes is a great solution!

I've had success with embedding items from www.polleverywhere.com as well. It's easy to provide options for students as they answer either online or with a text message.

The Canvas Polls app, while a little older is another idea if everyone has a mobile device. The results cannot be seen through the browser, nor can students vote through a browser. It's app-specific.

This doesn't really answer the question. I'm looking for polling, not a quiz. Ask a question and get some real time feedback. A survey or quiz just doesn't do that.

Agreed.  What is the answer to how to add a poll to a Canvas site.
