Some kind words about the ARC Accreditation Quiz Show at Convocation #ConvoARC

For the January 2014 ARC Convocation we used PollEverywhere to create an interactive, audience participation Quiz Show to kick-off the 2015 ARC Accreditation campaign.

To answer the Quiz Show questions, the audience used their cell phones or other digital devices to enter the responses, which are displayed live. On the days leading up to Convocation, we emailed a series of survey questions to answer in order to get familiar with PollEverywhere.
