YuJa Engage allows instructors to activate live polls, which can be shared with their students. Please follow the steps below to learn how to manage live polls.
Activating Your Poll
Once a poll has been created, you may activate the Poll from the Home dashboard.
- Log in to YuJa Engage.
- From the Home dashboard, a list of Polls will be displayed within the Recently Modified Polls panel.
- Click the Activate button for the Poll you wish to share.
- If your institution has integrated YuJa Engage with their LMS (Blackboard Learn, Blackboard Ultra Canvas, D2L Brightspace, or Moodle), you may activate the Poll to your course and automatically have results synced with the LMS gradebook after a Poll is completed. Simply select Activate within a course, and choose the course from the drop-down menu.
- If your institution still needs to integrate YuJa Engage with their LMS, or you wish to activate the Poll without a course, select Activate without a course.
- Finally, select how you'd like questions released to students:
-
- Let me choose when to release questions
- Release all questions together
-
- Click Activate to begin your Poll.
- You can also share saved Polls from the Action column in the Polls tab by clicking the Activate icon.
- From the Share Poll Dashboard, the Poll Code panel provides the following options to allow students to participate in the Poll:
-
- QR Code: Click on the QR code to download it as a PNG image. Participants can then scan the QR code to access the Poll.
- Poll Code: Students can download the YuJa Engage mobile app and enter the 6-digit Poll code.
- Direct Link: Instructors can click the Link button to obtain a direct link to the Poll for students to access.

- As students join the Poll, they'll appear in the Activity Feed panel.
