Description:
If you're an administrator of a group in CampusNet you can use the poll feature to ask questions e.g. in a lecture to assess and activate students. It can be a bit tricky to find at first, because you have to activate the service; when entering the CampusNet group you click the 'Admin' button in the left menu. Then choose 'access to services' and tick off 'polls'. The feature is now visible in the menu and you can create a new poll. When making a poll you can use different settings to determine the time span and visibility of the poll and results - if you want to see the voting results right away. You can also embed the voting results into a presentation afterwards. If the students have downloaded the CampusNet app, they can also vote on their smartphone, which makes it convenient if you want the students to vote outside the class.
