With a free account, users may record up to 25 responses per poll, without including a grading functionality. It requires sign-up both for creators and participants. Poll Everywhere was developed by Jeff Vyduna, Brad Gessler, and Sean Eby.
Evaluation: Poll Everywhere is a valuable tool for getting immediate feedback in the classroom, conducting quizzes, and more. These kinds of tools are useful for living up and making in-person teaching more engaging. Poll Everywhere includes many functionalities, but a substantial downside is that it requires sign-up for participants. Basic IT skills required.
