Question types

• Multichoice - Participants select one or more items from a list.
• WordcloudLink opens in a new window - Displays responses in a cluster of words to form an image. The more popular the response, the bigger and bolder the word appears. In present view, results can be grouped into themes or analysed for sentiment. You can also configure a word cloud question to limit the number of responses each participant can submit.
• TextLink opens in a new window - Participants enter a text response of up to 2,000 characters.
• RankingLink opens in a new window - Participants rank choices by preference or in the correct order.

Quiz

Quizzes are essentially a series of polls where you have specified a correct answer for each. Please note correct answers cannot be set for rating, word cloud, and XY plot questions. Correct answers can be added or amended after a poll has already received results, which is useful if you need to make corrections mid-session.

---

Q&A

Q&A allows participants to submit questions, comments, and feedback, and to upvote others’ contributions. Anonymous posting can be enabled.

---

Self-paced (Surveys)

The Self-paced area of the dashboard (previously called 'Surveys') allows you to run a series of questions asynchronously, outside of a live session. You might use this to gather feedback, opinions, or (pre-)check knowledge. Students do not see responses from their peers.

---

Self-paced quizzes

Self‑paced quizzes are surveys where each question has a correct answer. Students can complete them in their own time and receive instant feedback.

How to run a session that the students can join

1. In the Vevox dashboard, click on your session.
2. Click Start session to make the session available for students to join.
3. Share your screen with students and click Present fullscreen to display the joining instructions.
4. Students should go to vevox.app on their own devices and enter the 9‑digit session ID, or scan the QR code.

Once your class is over, you can end your Vevox session in the session toolbar by clicking the 9-digit session ID and then clicking End session. You can also view how many participants have joined. Vevox allows up to 5,000 participants per session.

Creating and presenting polls in PowerPoint

You can either create Vevox polls directly in PowerPoint, or use existing polls you've already created in the Vevox dashboard. Please find more information at the Vevox guide to creating polls with PowerPoint.

Please also see this Vevox guide to presenting your polls in PowerPoint.

Vevox integrates directly with Microsoft Teams, allowing you to run anonymous polls, quizzes, surveys and Q&A without leaving your meeting or switching screens.

Students do not need to enter a session ID to take part in Vevox activities within MS Teams, nor do they require an additional device.

You can add Vevox to:

• Meetings and calls (for synchronous teaching)
• Channels and chats (asynchronous teaching)

Vevox allows you to view and download the data captured during your sessions, including any results for your polling, Q&A, and survey content.

Please watch this video for an overview of Vevox data capabilities (00:49):

The data tab in a Vevox session dashboard offers the following functionalities:

Share

Create a public link so you can share the session data. Others with the link will be able to view, but not edit or download the data. If you shared the link with someone and you disable it again, they will no longer be able to view the data.

Download

Download your session data in an Excel workbook or as images (i.e. graphs).

Reset session

If you want to use your session again with a new class or audience, you can reset the session. All poll results, survey results and messages will be cleared and stored in your session history so you don't lose it.
