The EchoPoll Library is more than a storage space. It allows you to make changes to your content, start live Sessions, and create Assignments for your learners. You can do all of this within a course or independently, depending on how you prefer to organize your instruction.
There are two primary content types in My Library, identified in the figure below.
- Poll Decks - These are used to deliver content during live Sessions or through Assignments learners complete on their own time.
- Resources - These support your Poll Decks. You can create, upload, or link to materials here and use them across multiple activities.
