Live poll or course interview?

Three questions to pick the right way to hear from students

Flowchart for choosing between a live poll and a course interview: three questions, one side step, ending in reading the themes and agreeing changes.
Start with what you need to learn, then pick the tool.

A decision flowchart for lecturers and teaching-and-learning teams choosing between a live poll in the lecture hall and a course interview sent to every student. It asks whether you need an answer during the session, whether you need absent students, and whether you need reasons as well as ratings. Koji runs the interview step, asking each student a follow-up and grouping answers into themes.

What's in this flowchart

Start: You want to hear from students

  1. Do you need an answer during the session?
    • No: go to 2.
    • Yes: Run a live poll or quiz. Adjust the next ten minutes of the lecture.
  2. Do you need to hear from absent students?
    • Yes: go to 3.
    • No: Ask the room next session. A live Q&A or mood check reaches the room. Then go to 3.
  3. Do you need reasons, not just a rating?
    • Yes: go to 4.
    • No: Send a short rating question.
  4. Send an interview link to all students. They answer by text or voice when it suits them, and Koji asks the follow-up.
  5. Finish: Read the themes and agree changes.
