Poll Everywhere Licenses and Support at Carleton

Body

PollEv is a web-based Student Response System (SRS, aka Clicker), which will work on a many devices, and provides a variety of polling options. PollEv also integrates into a number of applications, allowing you to remain in your presentation (ex. Google Slides, or PowerPoint), or communication software (ex. Slack).

For the Academic Year 2023-2024 (AY ‘23-’24), Carleton will have Poll Everywhere licenses with premium features available for faculty or staff. 

Poll Everywhere is integrated with Carleton's Single Sign On. Therefore, if you want to be added to Carleton's Poll Everywhere account to access premium features, you will need to log in with your Carleton credentials. Below are the steps to follow:

  1. Visit www.polleverywhere.com
  2. Click on 'Log In' located in the upper right-hand corner
  3. When prompted to enter your username or email address, enter your Carleton email address
  4. After you click on the 'Next' button, it will change to 'Log in with Carleton College'
  5. Once you click to log in with Carleton, Poll Everywhere will bring you to our Single Sign On page, and enter your Carleton credentials

Once you have logged in, you will either be assigned a presenter account (faculty and staff), or a participant account (students), and that is all you have to do!

In the event those instructions do not work for you, please reach out to Don Vosburg (dvosburg) in Academic Technology.

There is one other note to be aware of at this time:

  • ITS will review the usage of Poll Everywhere after AY ‘23-’24 to determine our licensing. We may not have unlimited licenses after this year depending on usage.
