Socrative Pro is a student response system that can help instructors to poll their students anonymously, gauge student learning through quizzes, and complement their discussions with interactive approaches, all of which are helpful to increase student engagement. It is free for up to 50 students or can accommodate 200 via a Pro account–available for the WWU academic community. View the Polling Tool Comparison 2023 for similar products and capabilities.

If you are hoping to connect polling data from Socrative to Canvas for grading purposes, this involves uploading a roster to Socrative, downloading activity data, and uploading a spreadsheet/columns to the Canvas gradebook. For this purpose, it is easier to conduct a Canvas survey, but this may not meet all of your needs.
If you are using Zoom through Western, you will also have access to polling in this Pro version. Polls for Zoom meetings are best created in advance of the meeting and launched during the meeting. See Zoom’s Polling for Meetings help page.
