Faculty, do you want to make your lectures and presentations more interactive?

You have access to two tools that can be used to poll your students, get real-time feedback, and actively engage your students in the material you are teaching:

Poll Everywhere – create polls, surveys, quizzes, and more for your class
Top Hat – create interactive lectures, quizzes, polls, and more

Both of these tools are available in Canvas or via the platform directly. They also both allow you to take attendance.

Want help integrating polling tools into your teaching? Contact our Learning Innovations & Design Desk online or in Rose Library.
