About the polls
The Poll feature allows Instructors to create and launch polls during a live session to gather responses from learners in real time. You can build polls manually by choosing a question type such as multiple choice, multiple answer, or short answer, or generate polls quickly using AI-assisted options like the Icebreaker poll and the Knowledge check poll.
Learners can respond to active polls, update their answers, and view shared results. All poll activities are managed from the Polls & Quizzes panel.
