Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I used Slido to conduct some smartphone polls during my presentation at a professional conference, and it worked great! It was a clean, easy way to engage with my audience, and everyone loved it. Slido allowed me to clearly show a QR code along with URL instructions to get audience members started, and I was able to show the questions and responses to everyone. I was even able to practice beforehand, so I felt confident using the system during my presentation. Thanks slido!

Administrator (501-1000 employees)

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I am a college professor and administrator. Slido has been so helpful in my work! My main purpose has been to use Slido to help engage students in my class. College students these days are digital natives, having completed K-12 education with computers and gamified learning, so they are asking me to use technology to enhance their learning. I find that using Slido to pose a few questions to assess their learning from the lecture provides helpful feedback for my lesson planning and also helps students be more engaged and active in class. Additionally, as part of other administrative roles on campus, I often direct meetings or training sessions for other faculty. Using Slido to engage faculty audiences works just as well!

Pros

Poll the audience.
Share results live.
Integrate into PowerPoint.

Cons

The integration into teams can be clunky. At times, Teams is used for hybrid meetings, and it's challenging for folks in the room to see everything, since it only has presenter view.

Return on Investment

It's hard to say the ROI, but students do note they enjoy using it.
