The students enjoy these sessions and are more attentive than in a typical lecture, which leads to better learning. Instructors are able to learn about the students' uses of technology, research methods, and more with the polling capability.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Research limitations\/implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>The research in this study was only done using the free version of Poll Everywhere in management classes. It would be interesting to see if the results would be the same in other business classes as well as non\u2010business classes. It could also be beneficial to test the functionality of paid accounts as well as seeing how other web sites compare.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Practical implications<\/jats:title><jats:p>This article may assist those deciding between different audience response systems and provide tips to those wishing to implement web\u2010based polling, and more specifically Poll Everywhere, in their sessions.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title content-type=\"abstract-heading\">Originality\/value<\/jats:title><jats:p>Few articles on audience response systems exist solely on web\u2010based polling and the benefits instructors can reap in addition to their students.
