How to Use Polls Before, During, and After Internship Webinars

Before the webinar

Ask about confidence, clarity, the most important need, and one question the participant is bringing. Results help the presenter emphasize what the cohort needs now.

During planned pauses

A live poll can ask participants to choose a principle, assess a scenario, identify a next step, or signal where further explanation would help. Keep each poll focused enough to answer quickly.

After the webinar

Measure changes in clarity and confidence, then ask for the principle and next action the participant will carry forward. Link the response to the quarter’s learning record.

How to put this guide into practice

Begin with before the webinar. Continue through during planned pauses, then use after the webinar to turn the principle into a visible action or record. Name the responsible person, the completion point, and the date for review so the learning can carry forward.
