How Students Answer Echo360 Polls

There are 3 ways students can answer Echo360 polling questions during class:
  1. If they have a laptop or phone, they can use a web browser to go to their course's LATTE page and click on “Echo360 Lecture Recordings and Check in Questions”. This will open a new Echo360 page with an entry for each class session. They can then select the polling question for that day’s class session.
  2. Or they can use the Echo360 app on the phone.
  3. Or they can use their phone to text in their answers. (This requires students to register their phone number with Echo360 first, so that you can later identify which students responded to give them credit.)
