What Does Poll Everywhere Mean by “Participant”?
A participant in Poll Everywhere is someone whose names appear with their responses in Poll Everywhere reports. If a participant account has not been created for a respondent, their poll response cannot be associated with them in Poll Everywhere reports.
Participant Accounts Are Only Available through the University License
An instructor’s school or program must have access to our subscription account for them to create participant accounts for their students. If you want to use participant accounts for your students but your school or program does not have access to Penn’s subscription account, contact your Local Support Provider. To find your Local Support Provider, please see this list.
Please Provide the Following Information to Your LSP
