Poll Everywhere vs. StreamAlive

It's very handy in a classroom style setting. I'm interested in playing around with other features such as word clouds and other voting methods in order to catalyze more webinar discussion and participation. I think that it is a useful tool in enhancing and supplementing presentations, though with that said, it's only really handy when presenting new information or making a point in real time. Some business-related scenarios don't really lend themselves well to live response and too much of this I think could get distracting from an actual lecture or presentation (since you're ENCOURAGING attendees to be on their phones/computers).

I recently had the opportunity to use StreamAlive for my webinar sessions, and I must say I am thoroughly impressed. The ease of use is remarkable – it's intuitive and user-friendly, allowing me to set up my webinars without a hitch. The software's seamless integration with Zoom is a standout feature, ensuring a smooth experience for both myself and my participants. The interactive aspect of StreamAlive is where it truly shines. The ability to create real-time interaction with my audience has taken my webinars to the next level. I particularly love the interactive world map feature; it not only engages my audience but also adds a touch of sophistication and a cutting-edge feel to my presentations.

• Easy to use and get up and running. You can quickly set up a poll everywhere question or survey in a matter of minutes.
• Fun and creative. Poll Everywhere allows users to interact via text message on their phone or through the web app/site. Great for student engagement.
• Saves the results. One of the best features is that you can take the results from the poll or survey away with you to check back on at a later date. This is perfect for teachers to be able to assess and modify their lessons.

Qualtrics - Great data collection tool for emails or websites with a lot of question logic and back end analytics. But it takes time and planning to set up, the UI is not particularly strong, especially on the back end data. It is better for people who understand excel and parsing large quantities of data. No PPT or LMS integration. Google Polls - Pretty basic tool, not very engaging or fun. Doesn't have any of the features like Word Clouds or Competitions. Lack of LMS integration. Top Hat - Not as good in really any way. The student pay subscription model was a deal-breaker for me.

• We were facing an unplanned $20k yearly expense if we had stayed with our previous clicker provider
• Poll Everywhere made it so we did not have to increase student fees or find another way to fund the initiative; we had enough in current fees to cover the usage
• In pilots, students preferred using Poll Everywhere to clickers
