Overview
Follow these steps to connect Poll Everywhere to your course so that rosters sync and student responses are recorded for grading purposes.
Step 1
Go to Settings in the course navigation menu.
Step 2
Go to the Navigation tab.
Step 3
Find Poll Everywhere from the listed tools. Make sure to drag Poll Everywhere to the top section to activate it within your course. After you have done that, select save.
Step 4
Click the Poll Everywhere option in the Course Navigation menu. Then click Continue to polleverywhere.instructure.com. This button opens a new tab to the Poll Everywhere LTI page for this course.
Step 5
In the new tab, you may be asked to acknowledge you are launching Poll Everywhere through Canvas. Acknowledge the launch. On the next page, you will see a button to Sync Roster to import the students from your course into Poll Everywhere.
Step 6
After you click this button, a page informs you the participant import is proceeding, and you will see a “Go to Participants page” button. Click the button. Once on the participants page, you will be able to verify that the import took place because there will be a new group named after your course.
Notes:
- If a presenter is not logged in to Poll Everywhere, they will be directed to do so prior to the Sync Roster page
- If a presenter is logged in using the wrong email address, they will see an error message indicating they need to log in with the email address associated with the university enterprise account. In this case, the button will direct the presenter to the login screen to log in with the correct credentials.
- If a user is logged in as a participant, they will see a message encouraging them to participate in a poll. This button links the participant to the pollev.com response page, so they can enter their presenterʼs username and participate.
- If a user is attempting to use setup a poll everywhere connection with a course where they have the student role, they will get an access error message.
