Welcome! In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a poll. Posting a poll can be a quick and easy way to review student opinions. A choice question acts as a poll. You can post any question and provide your own answers.
Step 1:
On the weekly outline, pick the relevant date that corresponds with the question. Click the “Add an activity or resource” bar, and select the “Choice” option.
Step 2:
Then you will be taken to a new screen where you will be able to specify the details. First, enter a “Choice name” in the required field and post the question in “Introduction text.” Then choose if there is a limit to the number of responses each option can receive.
Step 3:
Provide the different poll options in the fields “Option 1” through “Option 5.”
Step 4:
Miscellaneous Settings – This section allows you to choose between the display modes, publishing results, privacy settings, etc.
Common Module Settings – Select whether group mode is allowed and enter an ID number if relevant. When creating a poll question, you will likely leave this section blank.
Restrict Access – Decide if you’d like to restrict answering to this time period.
Step 5:
Click “Save and display.”
