Poll Everywhere

Paul.J.972

I am looking for a more efficient way to track attendance in my class with 74 students. I heard that Poll Everywhere can be integrated with Brightspace to track attendance. Does anyone have experience using Poll Everywhere for this purpose? How do I get started?

Thank you,

Hi @Paul.J.972,

Thanks for reaching out to us here at the Brightspace Community.

The Attendance tool enables you to create registers that track attendance for activities within your organization or course. You can track attendance for any number of activities and customize your registers to suit your needs.

Use the Attendance tool to create sessions to track attendance and define attendance statuses for your activities. You can assign grades for user attendance, view attendance results, and track users that have poor attendance.

Specifically for poll everywhere, here is a great article on Tracking Attendance and Participation in Poll Everywhere from Carleton University.

Note: this is an article not managed by the D2L Team and is external. The information may be specific to the specific implementation in Carleton University.

Here is an additional resource to help you understand Attendance Management using Poll Everywhere.
