2Reply is a tool that allows you to survey your students in real time to animate your courses, check achievements or introduce a little interactivity. It has the great advantage of being lightweight, privacy-friendly, simple to use and completely free of charge.
There are many online tools to collect the opinion or votes of a group of students in real time. I have presented several of them here. Some are paid for others, free of charge, which does not prevent them from offering a quality service. This is the case, for example, for QRuiz I was talking about a few weeks ago.
2Reply is a small thumb in the face of these larger and more advanced tools. However, it is still an excellent tool to introduce a survey on the fly in the middle of a course.
A simple and privacy-friendly survey tool
The 2Reply application does not require the creation of an account, everything is done anonymously. It is enough that participants have internet access on their computer, tablet or smartphone. The teacher creates the question online. There are three types of questions/answers to choose from: binary choice: true or false, yes or no, I like or dislike. Single or multiple choice: between 2 and 5 possible answers.
In order for your students to access the question, 2Reply will give you a unique ID number. It is this number that your students will enter on the homepage of the site to answer your survey.
For your part, you will have another code to allow you to access the results personally. A single page that will show you the number of people who voted and the results as a graph
An online survey tool to introduce interactivity in your courses
Simple to use, 2Reply is a small utility to keep at hand. Create a survey is done in seconds. You can of course prepare them in advance, but the tool is flexible and light enough to be drawn in any circumstance.
Whether it is to check the understanding of a question at the end of a sequence or to facilitate a presentation by involving your students, 2Reply will help you engage your audience.
2Reply is a tool for creating online surveys designed and hosted by the University of Lille. It's free and deserves a small place in your digital toolkit.

Like many of these tools, it allows a global view of the group, but not of individuals who stand out by responding poorly, who are therefore not spotted or accompanied.
