Which of the following tools is used to create pre and post-session polls to…

Concept

Classroom and ICT tools are classified by the instructional function they are built to perform. A tool designed for audience response and formative assessment collects answers from many learners at the same time and displays the aggregated result immediately, so the same short set of questions can be run once before a session to establish a baseline and again after it to measure the change. Tools built for other functions — hosting and versioning source code, producing animated video, or simulating laboratory work — gather no live learner responses at all, so no before-and-after comparison of understanding can be drawn from them.

Applying it here

Mentimeter is a web-based audience-response and interactive-presentation platform. The teacher builds question slides such as multiple choice, rating scales, quizzes and word clouds; the learners join with a code from their own phones or laptops and answer; the responses are aggregated and shown live on the shared screen. Because the identical set of questions can be presented twice, once at the opening of a session and once at its close, the two response distributions can be placed side by side and the shift between them read as the learning gained from that session.

Contrasting the other tools

Answer

Mentimeter is the tool used to create pre- and post-session polls that gauge what students have learned from a session.
