  1. Allow image in question for short text answers/open questions

    You can have an image as part of a question for MCQs but why not other questions such as short answers?

  2. Please fix the name sort in the gradebook to be case-insensitive

    Student whose name is McMurphy comes before Mcdonald. Also students who entered their names in lower case are listed at the very end.

  3. Show/hide responses on multiple polls at the same time

    I like to hide responses as default for polling so that people aren't influenced by the responses of others while they vote. As it is, I have to individually change each one from show to hide after I make it since show is the default. Also, I'm using these polls in the classroom and I use the same questions for each class, so again I have to go in and change every since one I just used back from show to hide. It would be much better if there were a way to do it all at once from the…

    Thanks for your suggestion! You can set the default to “Show the instructions” in your Activity settings. Find them by clicking on your username in the upper right-hand corner of your Activities page followed by My settings. After you hit Save, all activities moving forward will have that option selected.

  4. Fix response exports so they don't include cleared responses!

    I don't see this as a "new idea". Instead, it is a serious flaw with your system.
    When I export responses, I reasonably expect that the output will not include responses that have already been cleared.
    However, Eric (from your support team) told me that the plan we're on doesn't include archiving functionality, so exported responses will include all cumulative responses since the survey was created.
    This is horrible, as it basically allows me to export invalid data from your system.
    Making matters worse, the export no longer includes timestamps for the responses, which makes it difficult to decipher which…

    Thank you for your feedback! I understand your concern here.

    To clarify, Surveys have unique CSV export files because they contain multiple activities within them. We don’t want to hold customer data hostage, so on plans without advanced Reporting, we chose to include previously archived results so as not to punish presenters who cleared their results accidentally — this happens very often. Through research, we found presenters rarely Clear their results multiple times within a short time period. We therefore did not need the full timestamp to the second of each response. We do continue to show “Created at” within the Survey export which includes the Day and Time (to the minute) of each response.

    In the long term, we plan on creating a view within the application to show the responses to a Survey instead of exporting the CSV immediately. While this adds another step to export the data,…

  5. Activate multiple polls at once

    As part of remote learning, I've been bundling questions into surveys so student groups have multiple questions to think about when they go to discuss them in "breakout groups". While the survey format work, it is a bit of a hassle bundling the questions this way, I don't like how the surveys response viewer controls as much as individual questions. It would be great if I could just activate multiple polls at once to avoid having to use the survey feature.

    Thanks for your question! To collect responses on multiple activities, we recommend using response links. You can find them on your Activities page by clicking on “Actions” next to the activity title. Response links do not rely on activation, so you can send multiple links simultaneously.

  6. Limit responses to only email addresses listed in participant list.

    For the Engage Plan or Higher, the documentation available online says you can limit responses to registered users. This infers that you can limit to the users registered on your participant list. The fact is, ANYONE with a PollEverywhere account can vote on your polls regardless if they are on your participant list or not. Evidently the only way to actually get this feature is on the most expensive plan available (10,000.00 per year). This feature should be available on the Engage plan or higher as advertised, or at least should be available as a one time add on for…

  7. Scroll through polls on iPad

    On the presenter app for the iPad, I wish I could simply go from one poll to the next without having to go back to the main folder. I use my iPad to release polls to my students, and this would save me a lot of time, since I always order the polls the way I want them to be anyway.

    Thank you for your suggestion! In the Poll Everywhere Presenter app, you can enter presentation mode by clicking on the play button in the top right-hand corner of your activity. From there, you can either scroll or use the arrows to move between activities.

    Let me know if that helps!

  8. Create a brief tutorial video to show attendees the tools from their perspective - to be able to share this video before a workshop

    Create a brief tutorial video to show attendees how the tools work from their perspective. It would be very helpful to be able to share this with attendees before a workshop so they know what to expect.

  13. Export Competition to CSV

    I recently created a trivia game for staff to play remotely. Someone else wanted to use these questions and I was going to send to them. Looks like there is an ability to import from CSV but not the ability to export to CSV. This would make this even better.

  17. results

    Show number of respondants (results) better.
    Total results is important. But when the responses are not shown, the numebr of results is sometimes covered up with the Next and Previous buttons. When responses are shown, the number of results is hidden.

    Thanks for your feedback! We recently implemented a change so that the total results count are further on the left and not blocked by the Next and Previous buttons.

    There are still situations in fullscreen presentation mode when you hover over the visual controls. This may hide parts of the slide, including total results. Let us know if this resolves the issue.

  18. Create a new type of activity flow

    Have an activity flow available for questions without correct answers where responses are locked before the results are shown. This is currently only available for questions with correct answers. The current option for questions without correct answers does not lock the responses before showing results.

  19. Enable text formatting in responses

    I teach IEEE citation style. Journal, magazine titles etc. are italicised and I wanted students to choose the italicised format, but I'm not able to do this in the responses unless I upload as a screenshot. I tried adjusting the font size before taking the screenshot but the screenshot remains the same. When students take the poll on their mobile phones, the options appear as big and small.

  20. Integrate with Microsoft Teams as an app

    There is a strong need to be able to control the forum of people voting/comment but doing so in an anonymous way. There is no great way to do this in Microsoft Teams and the only apps available that support this are TinyPulse and other competitors. Microsoft Teams is important because it's used in enterprise scenarios and already can control access to various groups etc.

    I use PollEverywhere regularly with my organization of almost 100 people. Being able to extend it's usage to garner feedback asynchronously and anonymously outside of meeting rooms and presentations would really take it to the…
