How do I create a poll (live or delayed) in my course?
There is an abundance of polling tools available and these are just a few of the ideas.
1. Google Docs: Use Google Docs to create a Google Form and then set it up so that it immediately displays the results in your spreadsheet charts. (YouTube version of how to create a poll for use in Moodle; Create a poll using Google Forms)
2. Moodle: Use a Moodle survey Activity like Questionnaire or Feedback
3. Clickers - Audience Response Systems: For in class you can check out either a TurningPoint or an iClicker set from Information Commons (Circulation Desk) in the Bethel University Library.
