Polling @ McGill (formerly Student Response System or SRS) is a technology-supported questioning strategy to assess students’ learning and encourage active classroom participation. At McGill, we are using a web-based student response system, called Slido, During a course lecture with polling questions, students will use Slido to respond from their personal device (smartphone, tablet or laptop).
Polling @ McGill is primarily for teaching and learning.
