The Polling feature allows you to poll your participants at any time using one of four different types of polls: Yes/No, Multiple-Choice (A-C, A-D or A-E), and Class Pace. You can use Polling to obtain quick responses to verbal or written questions. The poll type can be changed as many times as needed during a session. The Yes/No poll type is the default. By saving the Whiteboard, anonymous polling results can be saved and reviewed later in or out of a Blackboard Collaborate session.
To Poll Participants -
1. From the Tools menu, select Polling, select Type and select the type of poll you wish to use. Or select Polling from the Global Options menu. The default is Yes/No.
2. Present the polling question to the Participants verbally or on the Whiteboard.
3. Instruct the Participants to respond using the available response options. The options are located in the Participants panel. Click the Polling Response Menu and click the desired response.
How do I publish polling results to the Whiteboard?
The Moderator can choose to publish the polling results to the Whiteboard. This places a graphical representation of the results onto the Whiteboard. Select Publish Statistics to Whiteboard from Tools > Polling.
While conducting a Poll, the Moderator will see the results tabulated under the Polling Response Menu. To delete the responses, click the Clear button.
Determine if you wish to show or hide the polling responses from the participants by selecting or deselecting Make Responses Visible from the Tools > Polling menu.
