Poll Everywhere is a web-based polling software that allows participants to respond to polls or surveys synchronously or asynchronously from their cell phones, tablets, or laptops. Results are tabulated and can be displayed in real-time on-screen. Poll Everywhere performs similarly to the pedagogical use of “clickers” but offers more activity options for engagement. Poll Everywhere also streamlines in-person attendance management.
