The functionality available in the Online Polling Tool (OPT) includes:

* Full Course roster integration for all of your UCLA courses
* Six different types of questions
* Mobile & Responsive enabled BYOE Polling Interface
* Poll Creation and Management from class to class
* Poll Cloning for easy poll replication

OPT is designed to create a device-agnostic and user-friendly solution for real-time poll response collection and instant data analysis both inside and outside the classroom environment.

The OPT system will have impact in two areas. The first impact will be an increased availability of an in-class interactive system which will be able to be used in any classroom setting as there is no need for special receiver hardware to be installed. OPT eliminates the need to purchase third-party hardware for integrating classroom learning with response systems. The second is a relief of financial impact for students, who will no longer need to purchase a specialized "clicker" device, as long as they have an internet enabled wireless device (phone, tablet, laptop…).

Save your students $$! OPT eliminates the need for expensive and clunky clickers that your students have to buy!
