Poll Everywhere student guide

Lecturers may require that you register before responding to Poll Everywhere so they can identify your responses for teaching purposes. You can register with a Lecturer’s account before or during a class:

Pre-registration

• Lecturer registration link - If you have a link from a lecturer, follow the link! They might send it by email, include it in the syllabus, or post it on Moodle. It usually looks something like pollev.com/register?p=0123-abcd.
• Find instructor by email - If you know your lecturer’s email address, then you can register when prompted via pollev.com/register

In-class registration

You can quickly register your name and email with a lecturer while in class. You will only have to register once per lecturer and after that your name, email, and potentially your student ID will be associated with all your responses to that lecturer’s polls (unless the poll says that it is anonymous.)

• When your instructor activates an activity on their PollEv.com page (it looks something like PollEv.com/josmith), you’ll be asked to register:
• If you don’t have a Poll Everywhere account, you will have to create one using your City Single Sign-on. If you have an existing Poll Everywhere account, then login from this screen.
• Select the Register button and you’ll see a confirmation checkbox.
• The registration dialogue will disappear and you’ll see the lecturer’s active poll

• If you have logged in, your name and email will always be available to your lecturers next to your answers. If you provide an alternate identifier, they can also see that.
• If you have logged in but a poll is anonymous, your lecturer will NOT be able to view any identifier next to your response. If a poll is anonymous, you will see the following message on the response page.

• Your full phone number is never shared with lectuers, but in some reports they can see the last 4 digits of your phone number. The main purpose of this is to help verify that your certified phone number is correct. This helps you troubleshoot any problems with getting credit for your answers.
