Polling Online

Flisti - Instructor Ideas

The instructor can use online polling (Flisti) to:

• Assist learners in developing skills in understanding poll results
• Check learners' awareness of topics such as ‘Are you aware of the Canadian practices, standards and guidelines?’
• Collect quick data to develop graphs and show how data can be used
• Create an ERROR QUIZ for your learners that has 4 sentences, some correct and some not; learners choose the sentence with the grammatical errors; see example - http://flisti.com/27725
• Create questions for polling to obtain feedback from learners on any topic by entering question and possible answers
• Create questions or statements on the content that can be used as a mini-quiz to assess learners’ understanding
• Create vocabulary questions and check learners’ understanding
• Develop a poll to include on a class wiki or blog to capture learners' views at any time for summative or formative feedback
• Develop questions/ answers about research skills such as ‘Where would you go to find more information about this topic?’
• Have learners create polls about what they are interested in and allow others time to respond
• Vote for correct answers, project ideas or social issues in current events
• Poll learners at the start of a unit to determine their existing knowledge
• Question learners on processes such as where they can find more information on a topic such as professional practice and ethics, what are Canadian expectations?
• Survey students as to their knowledge of a topic or upcoming content as a pre-lesson activity
