Vevox at Newcastle University
Vevox is Newcastle University's centrally-supported Audience Interaction System, and allows colleagues to conduct live polls, quizzes and surveys with students - in advance or live in a lecture or seminar. From gauging opinion to providing participants with question & answer opportunities, Vevox can be used on different devices with the only requirement to participate being a device connected to the internet.
All colleagues can use Vevox as presenters by logging in at the Newcastle Vevox site (choose login with SSO).
Live Polling and Quizzes
Create and run live polls in seconds to gauge the views of your audience or test their knowledge and understanding. Show the live results on screen either via the Vevox dashboard or through the integration with PowerPoint (the University is using the Office 365 add-in).
Go here to find out more about Live Polling on the Vevox Website. And see here for a guide on how to make your first poll.
Asynchronous Quizzes and Surveys
Vevox's survey feature allows you to ask your audience survey or quiz questions that they can answer in their own time, at their own pace on their device.
Find out more about asynchronous surveys and quizzes on the Vevox helpsite.
Q&A Functionality
Question and Answer functionality give everyone an equal voice and the chance to be heard, whether they’re in the room or participating virtually. Participants can submit their own questions, ideas, or comments, as well as 'up vote' those from others, helping you to see what matters most. If you need to keep the conversation on track, discussions can be moderated
PowerPoint Integration
It is possible to integrate your Vevox polls within your PowerPoint presentations. You can embed Vevox polls as slides amongst your presentation content.
Please ensure you use the new PowerPoint Office 365 add-in when hosting Vevox sessions within PowerPoint. Information about the add-ins can be found on the Vevox website.
