The ideal time to end a poll depends on various factors, including the purpose of the poll. Here are some considerations to help you determine when to end a poll:
Duration: The duration of a poll should be long enough to allow a significant number of participants to respond, but not so long that the results become outdated or lose relevance. Polls are often kept open for a few hours to a few days, depending on the platform and the urgency of the topic.
Audience Engagement: If your students are highly active and engaged, you might be able to end the poll sooner since you'll receive responses quickly. On the other hand, if your audience is less active, you might need to keep the poll open for a longer period to ensure a sufficient number of responses.
Goals: Determine the goals of your poll. Are you looking for a quick snapshot of opinions, or do you want to gather in-depth insights? Your goals will influence the duration of the poll.
