   Word Cloud question types are designed to gather participants’ ideas and present them for everyone to view. As participants contribute their answers, they will be visually displayed, allowing the perspectives of those engaging with the Poll to show. When multiple participants provide the same answer, it will appear larger in the Word Cloud, representing the collective view shared among participants.

   YuJa Engage allows Creators to grant participants extra attempts on their Polls and choose between recording all attempts or the most recent attempt. When selecting “Record All Attempts,” Engage will securely store all attempts for Creators to review within the Engage Gradebook, enabling comprehensive analysis.If IT Managers have integrated Engage with their LMS, these attempts will then be seamlessly synced with the LMS gradebook through one of several options:
   • Send First Attempt to LMS.
