Poll

Polls are an accessible way to open a session and quickly get a feel for the group. Because almost everyone is familiar with multiple-choice questions, the audience immediately understands what is being asked. This makes the Poll a familiar start, without the need for explanation or getting used to it.

Within QandR, Polls are often used to introduce the topic or to gauge general preferences, expectations or experiences. The answers appear immediately on the main screen, for example as a bar or pie chart, making it possible to see at a glance how the group is divided.

Precisely because Polls provide an overview without immediately deepening the conversation, they form a natural stepping stone to other working methods. If the facilitator wants more nuance or discussion, modules such as Grading, Dilemma or Quadrant are a logical follow-up. In this way, the Poll helps to get the group started and gives direction to the conversation, without steering it too much.

Recently, the Poll feature within QandR has been expanded with additional options. The facilitator can now allow participants to give multiple answers, for example in prioritisation questions, and also set the maximum number of choices. In addition, it is possible to mark one answer as correct, making the Poll suitable for use as a quiz. This keeps the tool easy to use, but allows for broader application within different types of sessions. Read more about it on this page.
