UT Instapoll help


FAQ: How can I use UT Instapoll in a course with multiple sections or meeting times?

UT Instapoll is currently unaware of the existence of multiple sections within a course. Teachers wanting to use the same polls across two sections have been finding success with this strategy:

  1. Create your polls.
  2. In the first class, send the polls. Students in your first class will see the polls and be able to take them.
  3. Between the first and second class, recall the polls.
  4. In the second class, send the polls again. Students in the second class will then see the polls, and the answers from the first class will not be erased.

We don't yet have a lot of experience with multiple course sections, and we're sure there are some complexities we haven't run across yet. Please contact us at the contact information below and we'd be happy to talk through issues with you.
