Account owners can turn Pulses on/off in iQualify settings. When enabled, facilitators can create and send out Pulses from the Class console. Learners are notified of new Pulses and can submit their answers and view the responses of their co-learners.

Pulses are like real time polls - taking the pulse of your class. It's a great way of checking in with your learners to see where they're at.

Learners are notified of new Pulses by a pulsing green circle next to their avatar. When logged out, they may get an email and/or SMS (text) depending on the preferences they've set in their account settings.

After selecting the Pulse they see the question and pop in their answer and submit.

After submitting their answer, learners can select to go and view the Pulse responses on their Progress tab. Here they will see their own response alongside the anonymised responses of other learners.

Learners and facilitators can also view Pulse responses at any time by going to the Overview for that course and heading to Pulses. Use the Viewing menu to choose which Pulse response you want to see.

There are three different Pulse types that you can choose from, depending on what suits your question best!

A multiple choice pulse allows you to provide your learners with a set option of answers to the question you are asking.

A spatial pulse allows your learner to plot their answer between two or more points on a graph.

A text response pulse allows learners to respond to the question asked using any words/sentence they want.
