What is classroom polling?

Why use classroom polling solutions?
Classroom polling solutions can be used to:
- Help monitor student understanding of material covered in a lecture.
- Expose and clarify student’s misconceptions.
- Promote interactivity and discussion in large group case-based learning.
- Elicit and discuss diverse points of view when there is no correct answer (e.g., ethics)
- Test whether students complete assigned reading.
- Conduct quizzes and surveys
- Provide immediate feedback on the value of the learning session.
- Facilitate “peer instruction.”
