This paper shares the experiences of large class teachers at Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland, in utilising the Vevox student digital polling and engagement tool during class to enhance student learning. The findings suggest that the use of Vevox in large classes succeeded in engaging students, supporting literature which suggests that these types of tools have a particular use in large class where they can support active learning, be fun and reduce student boredom, and can create energy in the large class context. The DCU experience has shown that student polling and engagement tools can enhance large classes, so it is a worthwhile endeavour for colleagues to explore this option in their own contexts also.
