Instructors can navigate to the Admin Portal > Action Tags Lab > Polls area to download poll tags that can be added to any presentation slide or document outside of Engageli.
The tags will appear as QR codes initially, but when activated in the classroom, they turn into elements that users can interact with.
Example of Using Poll Tags
In this section, we will walk you through an example using poll tags. To avoid any confusion, please review the entire example before trying it yourself.
Below is an example image of poll tags added to a PowerPoint slide.
Take note of a few significant things in the image:
- Just beneath each QR code, there is small text that indicates the type of tag being used. In this example, you can see the small text says "Multi choice poll", meaning these tags will activate a multiple choice poll.
- Beneath each tag is a label for the answer (i.e. Pizza, Pasta, etc) that was manually added to the PowerPoint slide. The tags themselves do not contain the answer: they are generic QR tags for Engageli's multi-choice poll. When running a multiple-choice poll, be sure to include your own answer next to each tag.
- Notice that all the tags on this slide are of the same type: "Multi choice poll". Tags of different types should not be put onto the same slide, as it will confuse the system when it attempts to activate them.
Below is a sample image of what the slide looks like when presented via the File Share tool in the classroom, prior to the poll activation. Notice the QR tags do not look any different.
Below is a sample image of what the slide looks like once the Instructor clicks the "Activate" button to activate the poll. This is the view from the Instructor's end.
Below is a view from the Learner's end:
As you can see, the QR tags have changed and now users can click on the interactable elements to submit their poll answer.
Below is an image of what the learner sees as they click on the elements to submit their answers:
Finally, below is an image of what the Instructor sees as users submit their poll answers:
