Poll Everywhere is an online service that allows faculty to ask their students various types of questions during live class sessions. The students then answer the faculty's questions using a web browser or mobile phone. Both the question and student responses are then displayed live in PowerPoint, Keynote, and/or on the web. BSPH faculty can use this technology to implement knowledge checks, information gathering (e.g., Q&A, back channel, etc.), and active learning activities in their in-person and online courses.
For this workshop, CTL welcomed Poll Everywhere trainer, Eric Stewart, to lead a special training session for faculty at BSPH. The session allowed participants to learn more about how Poll Everywhere works and how it can be implemented to promote student engagement and active learning.

Digital Accessibility in Our Classrooms (Overview with Basic Applications) (57 min) | Slides | Automated Transcript (.txt)
January 2025
Celine Greene
This workshop identified several ways digital accessibility directly impacts pathways to learning. Participants were introduced to the principles of accessibility and given a set of questions to guide them in embracing and understanding the practice. Strategies were provided to make some feasible, initial steps to increase access to their communication, assignments, and other activities so as to include all learners.
During the session, an empathy exercise was shared. The personas and scenarios exercise aimed to stretch our perspectives in understanding how embracing small changes in practice, aligned with accessibility, actually benefit everyone.
Participants were asked to remediate a sample PowerPoint and Word presentation on their own. The files and accompanying solution videos are available to all members of the JHU community by request.
