Investigating a centrally supported polling tool for campus
Instructional Technologies and Media Services (ITMS) is supporting an initiative, with broad representation from across the University, to determine the possibility of providing a centrally supported and funded polling tool to campus. While several potential options have been investigated, a decision regarding the path forward will not be made in time for the coming Fall 2023 term. If approved, the team is hopeful a centrally supported and funded solution will be in place for 2024. Additional communications regarding the investigation into a centrally supported and funded option will be shared when available.
Polling tools for Fall 2023
There will be no change to the availability and use of polling tools for Fall 2023. Faculty and instructors who intend to use a polling tool of their choice during the Fall 2023 term should proceed as normal.
iClicker
Faculty and instructors intending to use iClicker during the Fall 2023 term should contact Shawn Gilbertson, manager, course materials, Print and Retail Solutions, to discuss iClicker options. Support resources for iClicker are available on the EdTech Hub.
