Vevox
A licensed classroom polling tool for TU Dublin
Vevox is a new and licensed classroom polling tool available to all TU Dublin staff. It can be used in both the virtual classroom and in the face-to-face classroom.
Classroom polling is typically used to increase engagement, check on understanding and build a sense of community. And sometimes just to create some fun :) Vevox allows you to put quick MCQs to your students, create word clouds, get instant qualitative and anonymous feedback and much more.
It is a flexible tool with 3 workflows:
- Vevox in Browser - Switch to a separate browser to run a Vevox session (suitable for virtual and face-to-face classroom)
- Vevox in PPT- Embed Vevox polls within your existing PPTs (suitable for virtual and face-to-face classroom)
- Vevox in Teams - Use directly within the Teams interface (suitable for virtual classroom only)
(Specific to Tallaght Campus and Blanchardstown Campus, link 3 also includes instructions for running Vevox in Teams Chats & Channels)
Vevox provide extensive support resources on their helpsite:
