Abstract
Student nonparticipation in electronic surveys represents a challenge to educators as it
may impact significantly on the implementation or evaluation of the associated teaching activities. We here study the student evaluation of a pedagogical project consisting of
prelecture online polling followed by linked revision lectures. This investigation involves
studying the responses from 43 undergraduate students following a course in accounting at a British university. With regard to the students’ views on the use of prelecture
polling, our study shows that there are no statistically significant differences between
those who did not participate in the online polling and those who did. Both groups of
students were generally positive about the use of (1) polling results in structuring the
revision lecture, (2) online survey in helping them prepare for the examination and (3)
online polling as a teaching platform in other courses. Our findings therefore suggest
that prelecture electronic surveys can help engage students with follow-up lectures,
including those who did not participate in the prelecture survey.
