Looking for a solution, elegant or duct-tapey, for my semi-synchronous event polling problem.
The?situation: I have multiple countries participating in a hybrid, semi-synchronous event. Each country team will have discussions and watch some recordings together at a time?that works for them, and then we'll all come together, virtually and live, to present and discuss. There may also be?some pre-recorded content shared during this live event. As a whole, participants have a low to moderate comfort level with technology. The event organization has a limited budget for tech licenses.
The challenge: How do we easily direct people toward various poll questions, without asking them to go to a different spot or enter a different code each time? I'm thinking especially of the pre-recorded content, which would need self-paced polling and a code that could be set 1-2 months in advance (to be included in the pre-recording). For live sessions, we could likely simply walk them through something with a facilitator-paced option.
The best I've gotten is to create separate Mentimeter presentations for each session's poll questions, each with its own code, and then sharing the unique code for the question we want them to answer when we want them to answer it. But even this runs into the issue of Mentimeter having a max 14-day validity on their codes.
I've also thought about using a PollEv app in our event's Slack space, but the info will likely get lost in the shuffle of channel messages across timezones, as different countries run through their discussions and recordings asynchronously...
