Activities are the types of questions you can ask your audience. The main Activity types include Multiple choice, Q&A, Open-ended, Clickable image, Survey, and Competition. A Survey is a compilation of individual activities that participants can respond to all at once, at any time. A Competition is a series of Multiple choice activities with added elements such as a timer, correctness, and a leaderboard to gamify the activity.
Create an activity
Step 1: On the Activities tab, select the folder in which you want to create a new activity.
Helpful Tip: If you don’t select a folder first, Poll Everywhere will save the new activity in the Default folder.
Step 2: Select the New Activity button from the upper right corner.
Step 3: Select the activity type.
Note: You might have to scroll down to see all of the available types of activities. For more information on each activity type beginning with the Multiple Choice poll, check out our other articles here.
Step 4: Select Edit in the window prompt on the top right to give the activity a title, and choose other configuration options. You can also just click Edit at the top of the activity slide to make changes at a later time.
The screenshot below shows what the new activity looks like just after typing in its title.
Note: The title refers to the actual question that you will be asking your audience, or the title of the survey or competition that will include questions.
The options to the right of the activity title show the basic settings for the activity. You can change any of them to alter the behavior of the activity. Some of those activity settings are paid features and won’t display on the free version of Poll Everywhere.
