Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of live polling and real-time feedback tools gained traction in higher education to enhance student engagement and learning outcomes. Integrating live polling activities has been shown to boost attention, participation, and understanding of course materials. However, recent changes in learning behaviours due to the pandemic necessitate a reevaluation of these active learning technologies. In this context, our study focuses on the Computer Science (CS) domain, investigating the impact of Live Polling Quizzes (LPQs) in undergraduate CS lectures. These quizzes comprise fact-based, formally defined questions with clear answers, aiming to enhance engagement, learning outcomes, and overall perceptions of the course module. A survey was conducted among 70 undergraduate CS students, attending CS modules with and without LPQs. The results revealed that while LPQs contributed to higher attendance, other factors likely influenced attendance rates more significantly. LPQs were generally viewed positively, aiding comprehension and maintaining student attention and motivation. However, careful management of LPQ frequency is crucial to prevent overuse for some students and potential reduced motivation. Clear instructions for using the polling software were also highlighted as essential.
