https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling Share with us your experiences of using polling software like Vevox to facilitate learning and teaching and learn how colleagues across the University are using polling in their teaching. We are interested in finding out about asynchronous, synchronous, online and face to face uses, suggestions for use of polls in blended learning, as well as any tips, tricks or challenges you have encountered. en-us 2021-04-27 11:23:10 UTC 2023-02-28 22:28:44 UTC hello@padlet.com rhiannontaylor1 https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1489314580 We asked students to watch videos about research styles before their seminar. In their Teams seminar, we asked them to reflect and vote on firstly which research style they most identify with, and secondly which they would ideally like to be - to start a brief discussion of different approaches.]]> 2021-05-04 12:41:49 UTC https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1489314580 rhiannontaylor1 https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1489328520 I found it helpful to test it beforehand with colleagues - to make sure I knew how to open and close polls, and how to share responses with students.]]> 2021-05-04 12:45:34 UTC https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1489328520 https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1494695990 You can embed your metimeter presentations into Moodle courses adding the embed code to a Moodle page or book. Students will still have to use another tab or device to vote but this approach allows for asynchronous voting and the results will be visible to everyone via the Moodle page. ]]> 2021-05-05 16:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1494695990 https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1494763271 Wordclouds are a great way to break the ice and gauge student's understanding or feelings on a subject. In the Library we often begin sessions with the question 'What does the word Library mean to you' - inevitably the wordcloud is full of 'books' and 'study spaces' so it works as a good segway to the rest of our session and allows us to work out any particular areas we might need to address on the fly!]]> 2021-05-05 16:51:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1494763271 https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1494774019 Really great when it works but a little tricky to use as a first timer. Its definitely improved in recent months and the functionality is much better - having it integrated in a powerpoint means you don't have to switch screens all the time either! A second screen to have the vevox dashboard running and keep an eye on the back channel if you are using it is recommended though.

Remember to resest your questions if you run through your powerpoint and test the questions beforehand - we have had some confusing and glitchy sessions from forgetting to do that. ]]> 2021-05-05 16:54:13 UTC https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1494774019 s_a_locke_wheat https://padlet.com/rhiannontaylor1/TEALfest_polling/wish/1501546633 Pete Sharma's report on a session he ran in the Teaching Grid using its physical polling devices.
