FAQ

Why are my students getting a message that they need to register to participate in my Poll Everywhere activity?

Students will get this message when the instructor is running an activity that�� requires participant registration. If your activity is intended to be open to all participants and not just those that are registered, you can change your activity settings, configure your Poll Everywhere activity to allow “Everyone, no restrictions”.

If your activity is graded or used to track participation or attendance, then all students need to be registered to your Poll Everywhere account.�� Students are registered when the instructor synchronizes the classlist to the participant list in their Poll Everywhere account. For information on how to Sync your classlist, please see the Sync/Import your Class Roster guide.

Why are some of my students not listed on my participants’ page after I imported my class list into Poll Everywhere?: To check the students registered for your class on Poll Everywhere please see the Sync/Import your Class Roster guide. If some students are not listed, they will need to change their Poll Everywhere account email to their @cmail address.

How do I associate my poll activities to grade items in my grade book?

You do not need to create grade items in Brightspace for your Poll Everywhere activities. When Poll Everywhere grades are exported into a Brightspace grade item, the default weight for that grade item is 10% of the course grade. You will need to update that information to reflect the correct weight for Poll Everywhere activities in your course.

Poll Everywhere will create only one grade item for each Poll Everywhere activity. To reuse the same activity each week, make sure to duplicate it and run it as a new poll each time. You can run a new gradebook report and export the grade. It will not generate a new grade item each time you export a new gradebook report.

Why are my exported Poll Everywhere grades not creating a new Brightspace gradebook item?: If you reuse an earlier graded activity within Poll Everywhere rather than creating a new one, results from that activity will update a pre-existing grade item in Brightspace. You must create a new activity in Poll Everywhere for each graded poll.��

Why are my exported Poll Everywhere grades updating an earlier item in the Brightspace gradebook?: If you reuse an earlier graded activity within Poll Everywhere rather than creating a new one, results from that activity will update a pre-existing grade item in Brightspace. You must create a new activity in Poll Everywhere for each graded poll.��

Why are my exported my Poll Everywhere grades not appearing in my Brightspace Gradebook?

When you export your PE grades to Brightspace, a new grade item will appear at the bottom of your grade items list. Check to confirm the grade has been exported there.��

If you do not see the new PE grade item in your gradebook, follow the steps to Sync/Import your Roster to Poll Everywhere. If you have imported your class list in the past, you only need to follow the procedure to Sync the roster. Once you have have Imported/Synced your roster, you can Export a Poll Everywhere Gradebook Report to Brightspace.

Are the grading results of Poll Everywhere automatically added into Brightspace gradebook?

No, the grading results of Poll Everywhere activities are not automatically added into Brightspace Gradebook . You must manually export your grades from Poll Everywhere to Brightspace.��

Once you have completed the export process in Poll Everywhere and your Poll Everywhere activity is properly linked with your Brightspace gradebook, a grade item will automatically be added to the gradebook. It will appear as the last grade item in the list, so you will need to move it to its proper location through the Manage Grades tab in Brightspace.��

How do I register my students so they can participate in my polls?: You can use Poll Everywhere to run graded and ungraded activities. Students only need to be registered�� if you are running graded activities or activities where you want to track participation. Ungraded polls do not require registration. Graded polls or polls that are used to track attendance or participation in class require that students be registered in the instructor’s Poll Everywhere account. Students are registered when the instructor synchronizes the classlist to the participant list in their Poll Everywhere account. For information on how to Sync your classlist, please see the Sync/Import your Class Roster guide.

What browsers does Poll Everywhere support?

Poll Everywhere supports the following internet browsers:

Chrome (version 79 or later)
Safari (version 13 or later)
Firefox (version 78 or later)
Edge (version 81 or later)

For more information, see the page.

Why is my Poll Everywhere activity not displaying correctly in my PowerPoint/Keynote presentation?

You must be in presentation mode for a Poll Everywhere activity to activate. The most consistently stable app for Poll Everywhere is the web application. We strongly recommend you primarily use the Poll Everywhere web app as it does not have any issues with display, rendering of equations, and synchronization of responses. Poll everywhere works well with a variety of presentation applications. However, this functionality is dependent on many factors including the device used, software versions, updates, etc.�� Poll Everywhere activities could fail to function correctly for any of these reasons. In these cases, please use the web application, and if the issue persists, contact the Poll Everywhere support team at support@polleverywhere.com.

Are the grading results of Poll Everywhere automatically added to the gradebook in Brightspace?: No, the grading results of Poll Everywhere activities are not automatically added into Brightspace Gradebook. You must manually export your grades from Poll Everywhere to Brightspace. Once you have completed the export process in PE and your Poll Everywhere activity is properly linked with your Brightspace gradebook, a grade item will automatically be added to the gradebook. For instructions, see Grading Poll Everywhere Activities.

How do I export the results of my Polls to the Brightspace gradebook?: See Grading Poll Everywhere Activities for instructions.

Do I have to link Poll Everywhere with Brightspace using the “External Learning Tools?”: If you are not tracking the poll for attendance or grading, you do not have to link the poll to Brightspace for students to participate. If you are tracking the poll for attendance or grading, you need to link your poll everywhere account to your Brightspace course.

How do I link my Brightspace course and my Poll Everywhere account?: To link your accounts, you need to synchronize your class list in Brightspace to your Poll Everywhere Account. ��For instructions, see Import/Synchronize your Class Roster.
