Poll question

Use the Quiz Tool to create quick, one-question assessments designed to check understanding, spark discussions, or add a fun challenge during class. Teachers can create a quiz instantly by:

 

  • Using the Question feature during class, or 
  • Preparing them in advance in myViewBoard Hub. 

 

If a question is created while a user is logged in with the ViewSonic account, all questions created during class are stored in the Quiz Collection section in myViewBoard Hub for future use.
