Creating opportunities for interaction using Slido
Slido is an audience engagement tool available to UOW staff and students. It can be used in synchronous (real-time) meetings and events and features polling and Q&A functionality.
The following video provides an overview of Slido:
Polls use the following question types:
- Multiple-choice
- Rating
- Ranking
- Word cloud
- Open text
- Quiz
Why?
Using Slido allows educators to:
- check for student understanding in real-time without leaving the presentation
- allow students in the room or online to provide feedback through live Q&A sessions
- facilitate class interactions where students can join sessions via a browser, without the need to download additional software
- use existing templates or create questions and polls ahead of time
- create polls in real-time during the presentation to adapt to the discussion as needed
- review responses and analytics after the session to identify patterns or reflect on the sessions
- previous polling results can be recalled and displayed for reflection and further discussion, e.g. in a KWL analysis.
Visit the Slido website for information on other use cases.
