Accessing Poll Everywhere via Blackboard

Important Note

Poll Everywhere is a stand alone web-based response tool like Point Solutions (formerly known as Turning Point) and is not a Blackboard tool. Therefore, to synch your course roster and push results from Poll Everywhere activities into Blackboard grade book, you must access the Poll Everywhere link via Blackboard as shown below.

Step 1

To access the Poll Everywhere link on Blackboard, log in to Blackboard and you will see the Poll Everywhere link under Course Content within the Content section.

Image shows two orange arrows with one pointing at Course Content header and the other at Poll Everywhere LTI on the Course Content page in Blackboard Ultra.

Step 1

Select Add Content on your Course Content Page if this is an empty and fresh course. If your course content is already added, select the purple plus sign in Course Content and select Content Market.

Step 2

Select Content Market from the drop-down menu.

Step 3

Scroll through the cards on the Content Market page until you see the Poll Everywhere card. Click directly on the circled plus sign to add Poll Everywhere on your Course Content page. Clicking on the card itself will lead you to Poll Everywhere.

Step 4

When you are back on your Course Content page you will see the Poll Everywhere link situated there. If you have multiple courses and would like to use Poll Everywhere for each of them, these series of actions are required for each course.

Step 2

Clicking on the Poll Everywhere link directly brings you to the Poll Everywhere platform for login access. Click on the blue Continue to developer.blackboard.com button.

Step 3

Once you click the blue Continue to developer.blackboard.com button, the page below is revealed. You can see a left ribbon panel where the Home icon is denoted by the arrow. You should see the name of your course as well as options to Add New Gradebook and/or Synch Roster. At the top left hand side you can see a navigation previous link that gives you access to Courses you may have already synched in Poll Everywhere.
