Pulses are like realtime polls - taking the pulse of your class.

Facillitators create a pulse and send it out to their learners. Pulses are a great way of checking in with your learners to see where they're at.

Tip: If you can't see this icon in the top right corner of your account it means you don't have pulses switched on in your iQualify environment. Your account owner can turn these on in the iQualify settings area of iQualify.

When a facilitator sends out a pulse, learners see a pulsing green circle next to their avatar.

Learners see the question. Pop in their answer, then get directed to where they can see the results.

Learners and facilitators can see anonymised class members' pulse responses at any time by going to the Overview for that course, then heading down to Pulses. You can choose to view a particular pulse by choosing from the dropdown by Viewing (see 3rd image above where it says "Viewing: What's next").

Let's take a look at a few examples of the types of pulses.
