Classroom Poll Maker
Made for a room full of students
A classroom poll has to work the moment you paste a link on the board. There is no time to make thirty accounts, and there is no reason to collect a single student's personal data to ask which answer they picked.
PollMaker.ai needs no signup to vote, stores no IP addresses, and includes captcha and duplicate-vote protection for free. The free tier handles up to 100 participants, which covers a lecture hall, not just a seminar.
Honest answers, including the shy ones
Hand-raising over-reports the confident and under-reports everyone else. An anonymous poll gets you the distribution you actually have, which is the whole point of checking understanding before you move on.
A few ways teachers use it
- A quick comprehension check between topics.
- An anonymous read on how a unit landed.
- Letting a class vote on a topic, a date, or a format without social pressure.
Results can be set to appear immediately or only after the poll closes, so an early tally does not sway later voters.
