Create and Share a Vevox Poll

Vevox polls are anonymous by default. Once an anonymous poll has been conducted, it cannot be de-anonymised. Users should consider the use of free text answers carefully, particularly if there are concerns about the behaviour of the target audience. In such cases, users may want to consider using identified sessions or pre populated option choice question. For information on how to create an identified session, please refer to the guide:Create a student authenticated poll on Vevox
