Log in and Use the Poll Everywhere Mobile App (iOS and Android)
Some instructors use Poll Everywhere, which allows them to host activities and polls in their classrooms and coursework. During class, instructors display a Poll Everywhere activity on-screen and students respond with their devices. The results appear live on the screen for the class to discuss or for the instructor to grade. Instructors use Poll Everywhere to take attendance, give quizzes in classes, find out how well the class has understood a lesson, and generally make learning more active and the students more involved.
When an instructor presents Poll Everywhere activities, launch the app and type in the instructor’s username (i.e. pollev.com/username). When the instructor activates an activity, you’ll be able to respond from the apps in real time. To use the Poll Everywhere mobile app:
- Download the latest version of Poll Everywhere.
- Open the app.
- Select Login
- Select 'Launch log-in window'
- Enter your UIW email and select Next.
- Select 'Log in with University of the Incarnate Word'
- Log in with your UIW email and password.
- When prompted, select 'Authorize' to let Poll Everywhere access your account.
- Close the window and use Poll Everywhere.
