WebEx Polling
(Information shared by Kim Fleshman, Collab Lab, BGSU University Libraries) Seven pages of illustrated instructions for using WebEx Polling, which allows instructors to ask students a question(s) within WebEx. Polling could be used in an online course for taking attendance, giving a quiz, or quickly assessing students' understanding on a certain topic or point. The poll is saved as a text file. You can see how individuals answered questions, so that is something to consider if sharing the results.

Click on MyPolls, then the blue button that says "Create" in the upper left hand corner.Select question types such as: multiple choice, word cloud, Q & A, clickable image, survey, open-ended, competitions, and more.
