TCDpolls, powered by Vevox, allows staff and students to have real-time engagement during their lectures or webinars, via the following features:
- Polls
- Short class surveys
- Questions and Answers sessions
Getting Started
When using TCDpolls, you will either be creating content (such as a poll) or else be asked to participate in a poll created via the service.
Creating content
Only staff members can create TCDpolls content. Content can be created either via the web dashboard or via the PowerPoint Add-in.
Staff can sign into the TCDpolls web dashboard via tcdpolls.tcd.ie.
Steps to log in
- Browse to tcdpolls.tcd.ie
- Click on 'Login with SSO'
- If already logged into Microsoft 365, you will be brought straight to the TCDpolls web dashboard
- If not logged in to Microsoft 365, enter your Trinity email address (in the form bloggsj@tcd.ie) and password to continue
Staff can install the TCDpolls’ (Vevox) add-in to their desktop version of Microsoft PowerPoint. The add-in does not work with the web app version of PowerPoint.
This add-in allows you to create poll slides within your PowerPoint presentation.
Participating in sessions
Once the organiser shares the session ID (a nine-digit code), participants can join the session via the vevox.app website or via the Vevox mobile app.
For more information about participating in a session, check out our user guide webpage.
