- Each time you launch your poll, it creates a session on which you will have the report (analytics) on engagement.
- EchoPoll - Anywhere floating toolbar
- Launch to quickly ask a poll 'on-the-fly' over anything you have on your screen.
- E.g. show students how to do things on other applications such as over a PDF, Excel, map, etc.
- EchoPoll web

- E.g. When you teach in a lecture hall and the desktop there does not have the EchoPoll app and you do not want to save your PowerPoint and the EchoPoll app folder in a memory stick.

- Create asynchronous polls as assigned tasks for students outside of class
- Students' grades will then be populated back to your course Grade Centre
