Polling helps ensure that introverted students share their thoughts and opinions in class in a way they might not if forced to raise their hands to participate. Many EPFL instructors encourage class discussions before answers are submitted, and learners can compare their responses to the rest of the class to better understand their progress.
EPFL students love the “clickers” used to participate in live polling with PointSolutions because they’re easy to use, driving audience participation and engagement to higher rates than seen with many competing classroom polling solutions. Participation through mobile phones and web browsers is also possible with PointSolutions.
Many EPFL professors use poll questions to draw attention to common mistakes they see on exams. Instruction is more efficient as a result. In fact, most professors found that students don’t repeat these errors when preemptively alerted to them, providing strong evidence of student engagement’s positive effect on learning outcomes.
