EchoPoll - Assignment

EchoPoll can be used asynchronously, for example, as pre/post-lecture quizzes (assignments).

Note: EchoPoll assignment can be used as a formative task to check students' comprehension, but should not be used as a formal assessment task because the EchoPoll assignment results are not integrated into the Grade Centre.

To create an EchoPoll assignment, you need to:

1. Create a poll deck on the EchoPoll web environment.
2. Assign the poll deck as an assignment for asynchronous use.
3. Share the assignment links to Learn.UQ for student access.
