Why did Temple choose Poll Everywhere?
After a thorough evaluation process, Temple has selected Poll Everywhere as the new university-wide polling application. Poll Everywhere is an industry leader in classroom and meeting polling solutions, and is now available for all Temple faculty, staff and students. Numerous polling applications have been in use throughout the university for many years. In an effort to standardize the university to one supported platform, a university-wide committee was formed to develop polling criteria, pilot three leading applications, and gather and assess feedback. Poll Everywhere was selected based on a combination of features, functionality and value.
How does Poll Everywhere work?
Poll Everywhere works well for live audiences using mobile devices like phones, tablets, and laptops. Students participate by visiting a mobile-friendly web page or using the Poll Everywhere app ( iOS App Store or Google Play ) for your poll event, or sending text messages.
