Overview

Pre/Post poll comparisons are used to compare the results of a poll question before and after learning information. It's a great tool to showcase how your audience changed or maintained their viewpoint on a specific question. Currently, the Pre/Post Comparison can only be displayed through the Conferences i/o Windows PowerPoint Add-In. Click here to download our PowerPoint Add-In for Windows.

Create a Pre/Post Comparison Poll

1. Sign in to the session as a Moderator

   Note: Pre/Post Comparison can only be done with multiple-choice options

2. Create two identical multiple-choice polls with the same question within a session

   Note: We suggest adding a differentiator in the poll name to tell them apart easily (reference the image)

   

3. Navigate to Session Settings > Add Live Content to PowerPoint

4. Scroll down to the bottom of the page to generate a Pre/Post Comparison. Select the first poll as the Pre-Test, and then choose the second version of the poll as the Post-Test. Choosing your polls in that order is critical. 

   

5.  Click Create Pre/Post Comparison

Using the Pre/Post Comparison Poll

You can confirm the poll has been created because it will appear in the list of your polls on the Add Live Content to PowerPoint page

1. Insert the slides into your presentation in the following order: 
   • Pre-Question Poll
   • Post-Question Poll
   • Pre-Post Comparison Poll  
2. Run the PowerPoint to collect data for both the first question and the second question; and then the Pre/Post Comparison slide will show the comparison. The Pre/Post Comparison slide will be blank until responses have been collected for the first and second poll.
