Highlighting special features

Word cloud

A word cloud visually highlights popular poll answers. The more a word appears, the larger it appears. They're excellent for one-word submissions and can:

  • gauge participant sentiments before your presentation
  • recognise overlooked students or team members
  • gather inputs in team meetings or brainstorming sessions
