Creating and Managing Polls in Class Collaborate

Instructors can create Polling sessions from within a Class Collaborate session on HuskyCT. Polling can be used throughout meetings to provide learners with the opportunity to participate and engage with material.

Polling is not supported in the Blackboard App. Any students using the Blackboard app will not be able to participate in polls.

Creating a Poll:

  1. Navigate to your HuskyCT couse site and being a Class Collaborate session.

  2. After starting the session, open the Collaborate Panel
