Instructions for Development of Event Poll
Most peer events with less than will 100 registrants will receive a short event survey in the form of a poll. The exception is when a Center for States product is used or marketed during a specific event, then the event will get a brief survey rather than a live poll in order to collect additional information about product perceptions, use and satisfaction. Live polls consist of questions that are integrated into the technology platform (e.g., Adobe Connect, WebEx) and asked at the end of events. The poll questions listed below will be administered as is; the questions will NOT be tailored to each event.  Content specialists will choose the appropriate set of poll questions to ask for each event based on the learning outcomes of the event, either: 1) increasing awareness, knowledge, and skills or 2) improving collaboration and enhancing connections.
