ChimeIn 2.0 available

Key changes and features:

  • Canvas integration, which manages enrollment and allows participation to pass back to the Canvas gradebook
  • New question types, including image submissions and confidence sliders
  • Ability to ask the same question multiple times, and see the changes over time
  • More flexibility in who can create polls, and control over who can see responses
  • Ability to use rich media (images, video, etc) in the creation of questions

One very exciting new feature lets instructors ask the same question multiple times, over the course of a class or a semester. This means instructors can collect instant feedback on a shift in perspective or opinion over the course of a lecture (ask once, deliver a lecture, ask again, compare the results).
