Authentication and Authorization Request LTI registration link You will need to request an LTI tool provider registration link with token in order for Poll Everywhere to create a Tool Proxy for your users. To do this, start by logging into the appropriate Poll Everywhere account at polleverywhere.com/login. In the Poll Everywhere account, go to polleverywhere.com/lms/lti/roster_imports/new Next, select the link to Request a Moodle registration. This will notify the Poll Everywhere support staff to send you the registration link. If you do not have access to the Poll Everywhere account and are setting this up for another user, you may request the Moodle registration link by emailing support directly at [email protected]. Please include the email address of the owner of the Poll Everywhere account in the email. We will get back to you with the Moodle registration link within 1-2 business days.

You will first see a button in the frame redirecting you to your LMS URL. Once you have redirected, you should see a screen requesting access to certain information for our integration to work.

When this is done, a new Poll Everywhere account will be created for each student who did not already have one. Students must set their own password by requesting a password reset email from polleverywhere.com/login (unless they already have a Poll Everywhere account). You can edit and manage the imported students at polleverywhere.com/participants.
Gradebook Export Exporting grades from Poll Everywhere to Moodle saves educators time by letting them quickly record how students responded to their polls. For this feature to work properly, educators must first register their students will Poll Everywhere by following the steps outlined above. Once students are registered, and have responded to one or more polls, you will need to add the Poll Everywhere tool to the Moodle topic you wish to associate with the gradebook report. In Moodle, start by navigating to the chosen Topic. Then “Turn editing on” for that topic by selecting the gear icon to the top right.
Next, on the right side of the Topic, select “Add an activity or resource.”
This will open the “Add an activity or resource” modal. From this modal, select “External tool” and then click Add.
