Hello and welcome to our step-by-step guide for setting Poll elements into your module on Teachfloor.
Poll. Create a multiple questions poll. The poll activity is a smart way to get open, honest feedback that you probably wouldn't otherwise get. Giving learners the opportunity to share their opinions will help keep your course on the road to success.
How to create a poll?
When you will come to Curriculum page on the course you want to add a poll, and edit it. You will see a (+) Add Element.
Click on (+) Add Element on the left side of the screen. Scroll down, and come to Assessment Tools section and click Poll.
