Curriculum publishers increasingly provide audience response system-ready slides. You can convert “clicker-ready” or Turning Point slides into Poll Everywhere activities. Depending on the slide format, they will convert into either Multiple-choice or Open-ended activities.
Before you begin
Ensure you have installed and are logged into the Poll Everywhere for Windows PowerPoint app. Click here to get the app if you don’t already have it.
Steps to convert Clicker-ready slides
Step 1: Create a new slide or open a pre-existing slide with the Title and Content format.
If you are converting a pre-existing, clicker-ready, slide from a publisher or other resource, skip to Step 3.
Step 2: Create the slide content. Here are some tips:
- The Title section will become the activity title.
- For Multiple-choice activities, create a bulleted list in the Content section. Each new bullet point will be a new answer choice.
- If you leave the Content section blank, the system will create an Open-ended activity upon conversion.
Step 3: Once the slide you wish to convert is set up correctly, select the slide thumbnail in the PowerPoint preview window on the left.
Note: Any question types that are not multiple choice or short answer will be converted into Multiple choice or Open-ended activities.
Step 4: Click the Poll Everywhere tab → Select Convert.
- Convert slides one at a time to allow for edits before insertion.
Step 5: In the Convert window, make any necessary changes and mark a correct answer if desired, then click the Insert button.
- The original PowerPoint slide will be hidden, and a new Poll Everywhere activity slide will replace it.
After you have converted all the slides to Poll Everywhere activities, your slide deck is ready for presentation.
Helpful tip: When you convert a clicker-ready slide into a Poll Everywhere activity and insert it into your presentation, the activity is also added to your Poll Everywhere profile. You’ll find it in the Activity list on your Activities page.
