  • Updated

In this article:

    Clickable image polls have been redesigned and enhanced in Poll Everywhere 2.0, now more flexible, precise, and easier to use than ever. Whether you’re creating interactive geography quizzes, anatomy tests, or visual assessments, clickable images allow participants to respond directly by clicking on regions of an image.Clickable1.png

    Overview of Enhancements

    Clickable image polls now support

    • Streamlined creation: Upload your image and define response areas in just a few clicks.

    • Precision tools: Draw rectangles or define custom shapes with a new vector editor.

    • Correct answer marking: Set a correct region for automatic grading and feedback.

    • Live correctness feedback: Show correct responses during live presentations.

    • Improved design: Modern layout with improved usability for both presenters and participants.

    Creating a Clickable Image Poll

    Start by selecting Clickable Image as your question type. You’ll be prompted to upload an image, for example, a map or diagram. After uploading your image, you can enter a question such as: "Where is Iceland?" Then use the built-in region editor to define clickable areas.clickable2.png

    You can:

    1. Draw a rectangular region

    2. Use the vector tool to trace detailed shapes

    3. Zoom in, move points, and add corners for better alignment

    4. Mark the correct area for grading (optional)

    5. Once your image region is set, save your poll. It’s ready to present or share..

    Editing Clickable Regions

    Use the vector tool to fine-tune your clickable areas. This allows you to:

    • Drag and adjust anchor points

    • Create complex outlines (like irregular state borders)

    • Combine both rectangle and custom vector shapes

    This is especially helpful for images with non-standard shapes or small areas that require precision. This makes it possible to trace states, countries, or custom shapes, even tricky outlines like Massachusetts or Maine.Clickable3.png

    Presenting Your Poll

    When you present a clickable image poll:

    • Participant responses appear as dots or a heatmap over the image

    • If you’ve enabled correctness, you can show the correct area after voting

    • Participants can respond from any device with a simple click

    The experience is smooth and familiar — similar to how multiple-choice questions show correctness.

    Example Use Cases

    Clickable image polls are ideal for:

    • Gathering visual feedback from users

    • Locating places on a map

    • Identifying body parts in medical training

    • Selecting parts in a diagram or product image
