Frequently asked questions about Sendsteps question types
What question types does Sendsteps offer?
In Engage you can use Polls, activities, image tasks, a Quiz, concordance tests and DICOM. Pick the type that fits the moment. Every response can become evidence of understanding in Validate.
What is the difference between a Poll and a Quiz in Sendsteps?
A Poll is multiple choice without a required correct answer: a stance, a preference, a choice. A Quiz has right and wrong answers so you can check whether students got a concept. Both give every student a way to respond.
How do question types help quieter students?
Students answer on their own device. They do not have to speak in front of the room first. That is equal voice for every student, not only the confident hands.
Do I have to use every question type?
No. Use the type that fits the teaching moment. They all live in Engage. Several also feed Validate, so you can see who understood.

Question types are how students participate in Engage. Those answers become the evidence Validate uses, and can inform Improve for the next lesson. Create is where you place the questions while you prepare.
