Great products, used them for years. Made work easier when it comes to gathering colleagues input instantly, and honestly. They even have very detailed reports that can be used for discussion and record keeping. We used them when do do new hire training, community outreach, voting and assessments.
You can start teaching with this tool in minutes. It's fast and you can incrementally supplement lectures. It's also super versatile.
Expensive! Difficult to change slides on the fly.
