Often a class discussion changes students’ opinions or plans of action. For example, a student might enter class favoring one approach, but discussion might sway the student to another approach. A multi-round poll can highlight these changes for targeted calls. A representative scenario: At the start of class, an instructor might ask which students favor approach A versus B, with students submitting their choices via polling buttons. After 50 minutes of discussion, the instructor could ask the same question again. With this tool, the instructor can easily see which students changed their answers.
Tool features:
- Shows students’ names (not just seating locations) for quick interpretation and correct & confident calls.
- Highlights students with changed responses via color-coding in the list of students, and via a seatmap with colors showing prior and current responses.
- Accommodates arbitrarily many rounds — two rounds, but also three, ten, etc. as useful.
- Instantly tabulates and presents all changes — how many students changed from A to B, how many A to C, etc. for every combination of options.
- Automatically saves all results to a file for subsequent instructor analysis.
