## Synchronous vs. Asynchronous is a game changer for Poll Guru! Let's look at a couple use cases: ## ## Use Case #1 ## You want to have a group of people complete the poll at the same time. What type should you use? **Synchronous!** When you activate the synchronous setting on a poll, your participants cannot move to the next question until you allow it! Also, when this setting is turned on, your participants can give on-the-spot feedback using emoticons on their screens. ## Use Case #2 ## You want your participants to take your poll on their own time and at their own pace. You want to review everyone's feedback at the same time at a later date? What type should you use? **Asynchronous!** Asynchronous polls can be taken anytime by your participants. You can turn on or off the ability for your participants to see each others responses after they submit their results. ## ## Use Case #3 ## You have recorded an epic video and want the viewers to answer a few short questions after the video is complete. The video can be played anytime by the participants. What type should you use? **Asynchronous!** You can have the participants take the poll immediately after the video is complete. This is a great way to simulate interaction in an eLearning session as well! ## ## **Watch this quick video for further explanations on when you use Synchronous vs. Asynchronous and how to turn it on or off.**
