When to use it
Use a Poll when you want a stance, a preference, or a quick choice, not a scored item. If you need a correct answer, use a Quiz instead.

Poll — every student can choose
Poll is the multiple-choice question type in Sendsteps. Students pick an option without waiting for a volunteer. You see how the room splits during the lesson, and those choices become evidence in Validate.
If you looked for multiple choice, this is it. In the tool the type is called Poll.
How it feeds the loop
A Poll shows how the group is thinking. That pattern, not only the loudest comment, is what you act on in Validate and Improve.
Questions about Polls
Frequently asked questions about Polls in Sendsteps
What is a Poll in Sendsteps?
A Poll is the multiple-choice question type in Sendsteps. Students choose an option you wrote. There is often no single correct answer. In the product the type is called Poll. Everyone can respond on their own device.
When should I use a Poll instead of a Quiz?
Use a Poll when you want a stance, a choice or a preference, not a right-or-wrong check. Use a Quiz when you want to see whether students got a concept. Both are Engage tools on the Learning Loop Platform.
How do students answer a Poll?
Students respond on their own device. They do not have to raise a hand. That supports equal voice for every student, including quieter learners.
Can a Poll help me see understanding?
A Poll shows how the group chooses, which can open discussion and surface prior views. For a check with a correct answer, use a Quiz. Either way, responses can feed Validate.
