Create and Edit Sessions
A session in Vevox is a dedicated space where you group all your polls, quizzes, surveys, and Q&A boards for a specific event or meeting. Sessions can be edited, duplicated, reused, deleted, renamed, and shared with a colleague. They also store all the data collected during the event.
When you login to Vevox, you will see a list of all sessions created by you and those shared with you.
Create a New Session
- Log in to your Vevox dashboard.
- Click the Create Session button.
- Enter the name for your session and click Create.

From within a session, create polls, Q&A boards, and surveys; access past data and responses; and adjust the overall settings.

Polls
Polls are questions that you ask students in real time. Polls are typically used in live events, whether in person, online, or hybrid.
Q&A
Q&A boards allow participants to send the host their questions or comments. It is also live, allowing for real-time engagement.
Surveys
Unlike polls, surveys allow participants to answer questions at their own pace, either during a session or afterward. Since they don't require live participation, they are considered offline interactions.

Q&A is turned off by default but can be changed by accessing Q&A from the Navigation menu on the left and adjusting where it says Off. When used during a live session, participants have a separate area on their device for asking questions. Other participants can upvote questions, which can help hosts view, navigate, and filter through questions.

Search for Sessions
As you continue using Vevox, the list of sessions available will grow. There are several methods to find a session:
- Search by the Session name of ID. Filters can be added to narrow your search. One filter that may be helpful is the Label filter.
- Instead of the traditional way of using folders and grouping specific sessions together, labels are keywords that make it easier to find related sessions or identify sessions that you want to re-use, edit, or share. From the Sessions list, click the Vertical dot menu beside a session to add and edit labels.
For example, you can add labels that represent the term you are teaching, the subject matter, and more. If you are part of the MD program, look for a list of labels already available, including academic year, term, and system/thread.
