We offer several opportunities for LiveTalk training in person (in the NSPH Multimedia studios) at the start of every term. In response to recent events, for Term 4 AY19-20 we shifted the training to be online. This recording was made during one of our three sessions. It teaches navigating several techniques important to managing a LiveTalk, specifically as related to Zoom.

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.
