What is the Polls tool?

Article

The Polls tool allows instructors to post multiple choice survey questions on their site. If desired, instructors may change the tool permissions to allow students to post poll questions. Questions can be structured with one or more answer options. For each question, instructors can determine the minimum and maximum number of answers that can be selected.

Results of a poll can be made available to students immediately after voting, after the closing date, or never.

Instructors can post any number of polls.

Participants may only vote once per poll.

Responses to poll questions are anonymous.

What is the Messages tool?

Article

The Messages tool offers a convenient way to send and receive private messages to other members enrolled in the course site. Each course site has its own Messages tool. For example, if you are enrolled in two course sites (Site 1 & Site 2) you will have two separate inboxes, one in each site. When in Site 1, you may send and receive messages to and from members of Site 1. When in Site 2, you may send and receive message to and from members of Site 2.

The Messages tool is like email in some respects but with two fundamental differences. The Messages tool does not use external email addresses. Instead, you simply select the person you wish to write to from the list of enrolled site participants. Also, messages do not leave the system. They are not carried over the Internet like email is; therefore, they remain self-contained within the course or project site.
