Feedback about Vevox and/or iClicker

If you have used either Vevox and/or iClicker at least once for polling, we would appreciate your feedback via this survey to help inform future decisions about polling tools.

Instructional Technologies and Media Services (ITMS) has partnered with the Teaching Innovation Incubator (TII) to support experimentation in bold teaching and learning ideas, focusing on the student learning experience. A new Educational Technologies (EdTech) Sandbox safely combines and trials technology with pedagogy. Innovative teaching projects involve IT much earlier, saving time and effort.

Join the EdTech Forum

A space to collaborate and share knowledge and information with other instructors and staff about educational technologies currently in use or being investigated at Waterloo.

As announced on May 3rd, the University obtained a one-year centrally funded site licence to pilot the polling tool Vevox, for both academic and non-academic purposes. iClicker is still currently supported since no single polling tool previously met all the requirements of our community of users. Both tools have recently added new features that need to be evaluated before assessing the results of the Vevox pilot.
