Downloading and installing the PowerPoint and Google Sheets plugins (.exe files) can be a bit annoying especially if you do not have admin privileges on your device.
Changing the poll and display settings may mean needing to read the manual.
Presenters can get a report of engagement and answers.
The Quick guide to secure handling of confidential student information for faculty using online learning tools (.PDF) (developed by the Teaching & Learning Centre and ITS) helps faculty choose secure online tools for teaching. The guide provides guidelines and examples to help faculty consider the information students might be giving up when using a new tool. It is intended for quick use of free or low-cost online tools and not for larger, more costly tools that require more rigorous data privacy vetting.
Socrative quizzes can be run live in class or assigned for homework. First, the professor logs in and starts a quiz. Then, students use the student app (or the student web-based login) to "join" the professor's classroom and complete the quiz at their own pace. There are a variety of quiz types, including multiple-choice, short answer and even a fun "Space Race" game. Once the quiz is over, the professor can view or download a report of students' scores. For quick, formative feedback, the professor can choose to display a live score chart to the class, hide students' names and review any question(s) that most students answered incorrectly.
