Poll Everywhere Course Management is the latest update that enhances the integration of Poll Everywhere with Canvas, making it easier than ever for instructors to manage graded polls with their courses.

Enhanced Workflow for Educators

Course Management improves your workflow by enhancing individual course pages on the Poll Everywhere website and making them easier to access with a new left navigation icon. This dashboard provides easy access to what matters most:
Manage Rosters: Access rosters, content, and grades—all in one place.
Build and Group Content: Organize your polls and questions with ease.
Manage Grades: Preview grades for accuracy and sync them with Canvas at the push of a button.
Sync Everything: Ensure all your data is up-to-date with the one-click sync feature.

Participation Scoring

The new participation scoring model supports points-based and percentage-based scoring, offering a flexible and robust grading system. This powerful yet straightforward model makes tracking student engagement and performance more effortless.

Integration with Canvas

Course Management supports syncing courses and rosters and introduces Assignments, which are graded sets of activities tied to individual courses. These assignments can be used for a variety of tasks, such as assessing correctness, participation, and attendance. For example, you can create an Assignment that requires students to answer a set of questions during a class session, which can then be automatically scored and synced with your LMS using points-based and percentage-based models.
