Step 3 (if required). If you want to track your student, decide how you want to do that. There are 2 options that you can choose.
Option 1: Create one Open-ended question to ask students to enter their Student number / NUS student ID / Name in every session. You can have the question at the beginning or end of the session.
Please note: participants can only attempt question which are currently active, so having the question at the beginning of the session may exclude people who come late to the session, i.e. the rest of their answers will not be able to be identified.
Example of the open-ended question:
- Please enter your NUS student ID, the one in the following format: e0123456.
- Please enter your name as written in your matric card.
Option 2: Restrict the questions to registered participants only. This will force the participants to login before answering.
- All NUS users (staff and students) can login using their NUS id and password.
- If you want to track Non-NUS participants, you have to import them first. Please refer to this guide on how to import Non-NUS participants.
Steps to restrict the questions to registered participants are as follows:
- Select your group of questions.
- Click Edit.
- On Who can participate? option, set it to Restrict to registered participants only.
- Click Apply.

Step 4. Do either one of the following:
Option 1: Insert the poll into PowerPoint, Key note, or Google Slides and then run the slides. Make sure the plugin for the software has already been installed in the computer that you use to create and present the slides. Also make sure that you are logged in in the plugin.
