Currently, Quick Polls function primarily as single-question interactions. While this is useful for gathering simple feedback, we’ve observed that engagement remains limited. In our experience, users, especially community college students, are much more likely to participate when interactions feel dynamic, social, and participatory.

One idea would be to evolve Quick Polls into a more interactive space, similar to tools like Padlet. For example, instead of only selecting an answer, users could:

• Contribute short responses or ideas
• View and react to others’ responses
• Engage with prompts in a more open-ended, collaborative way

This type of interaction could transform Quick Polls from a passive feedback tool into a more engaging, community-driven feature. It would also align well with how students already interact with digital platforms, favoring participation, visibility, and connection over one-way input.

Enhancing Quick Polls in this way could increase overall engagement with the Library Mobile app, encourage repeat interactions, and provide richer insight into user perspectives. It could also open opportunities for libraries to use the feature in more creative ways, such as informal learning activities, brainstorming, or reflective prompts tied to instruction.

I’d love to see future updates explore ways to make Quick Polls more interactive and flexible, and I’m happy to share additional ideas or examples if helpful.
