  1. Save original answers to a poll before allowing the participants to change their answers.

    When PollEv is used for instructional/assessment purposes, the students are asked to answer a question and, if they answer it incorrectly, it would be very helpful to let them change the answer to the correct one (e.g., following a discussion) while keeping the record of original answers for assessment purposes. Thank you!

  2. Be able to amend the Q&A working when there are no questions

    When presenting Q&A and there are no questions pending, the message says "Nobody has Responded yet. Hang tight! Responses are coming in" however it would be great to be able to customise that as we always hide the questions once they have been answered so it looks like we didn't get any!

  3. Add Italian local number

    hello, i'd like if possible an italian local number, so participants do not incur in excessive rates when answering to the various activities. Thank you

    under review  ·  AdminSara from Poll Everywhere (Product Marketer, Poll Everywhere) responded

    Hello and thank you for your submission! Please see this support article regarding international text messaging and SMS response. I would also recommend you talk to your carrier, many times when a charge is incurred it is due to the carrier's rates or policies. With that being said, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at support@polleverywhere.com if you are still encountering any issues. Thank you so much and let us know if there is anything else we can do to help. 

  4. Email notifications on "The poll is running low..."

    I want to stop receiving emails entitled "The poll is running low...". I'm well aware of the extent/capacity of my current plan, so redundant automated notifications regarding this issue seem unnecessary.

  6. Wrap text with LaTeX formatting

    Text with LaTeX formatting does not wrap in all areas and sometimes scales down to fit on a single line. Specifically, response options do not wrap.

    This results in readability issues due to the small text size.

    Enabling wrapping for LaTeX text in all areas will improve readability and consistency across the product.

    planned  ·  AdminSara from Poll Everywhere (Product Marketer, Poll Everywhere) responded

    Hello and thank you for your submission! We are in the process of releasing our visual chart redesign. We will be addressing LaTex wrapping with this release. For now as a workaround I would recommend changing the font size to a smaller size in order for it to fit within the screen. Thank you again for providing this feedback and please do not hesitate to reach out if there is anything else we can do to help. 

  7. Performance (score) notifications emailed to participants.

    Overall (or % correct) score for a session (day) sent to individual email addresses of participants. In my educational application of PollEv, it would be very helpful since the students must receive feedback on their performance in each assessment AND individual scores can be revealed only to the recipients and not their classmates.

  8. Video integration (ability to play videos alongside questions)

    Video integration is useful in a learning application of activities. It creates an enhanced user experience and keeps the Poll Everywhere application competitive with other tools offered.

  9. Being able to pull the report for a certain timeframe (not intuitive)

    Being able to pull the report for a certain timeframe (not intuitive)
    Adding the option to pull the report for a certain timeframe under the report menu , since getting to them by choosing Archive to find them first is not intuitive.

  10. Creation of templated polls and quick starts

    Since Poll Everywhere are considered polling experts, it would be helpful to people who are not as proficient in poll writing to have a set of common polls available that could be copied/edited. This would be a time saver and value-add for that customer group. Examples might be a sample 360, a customer survey, an fun competition. Some competitors offer this and it's a nice added-value feature to have.

  11. Port WebExtension to Firefox web browser

    Firefox is not the most popular browser, but a lot of users still using it. Will be good to have an extension for it too, to not switch always to Chrome to show the presentation.

    And Firefox supports the same WebExtensions API as Google Chrome browser, so the porting should not be too hard.

    Here is some info about porting: https://extensionworkshop.com/documentation/develop/porting-a-google-chrome-extension/

  12. Allow putting elements over the poll in Google Slides presentation

    Now we can put elements over the poll in Google Slides presentation in design mode, but they disappears in the presentation mode. Can you fix this and allow putting the elements over the poll widget?

  13. Allow resize poll area in Google Slides presentation

    Now the poll element always fill the full area of the page. Even if I decrease the size of the poll object, it still appears as a full page in the presentation mode, stretching itself to the full screen.

    Will be good to match the configured size of the poll area and place the rendered widget only in this area, keeping all other page elements visible.

  14. Add short numeric codes to polls

    Now to vote people should type a pretty long alphanumeric url, like "www.pollev.com/alexeykorepov994" in my case.

    Will be good to give ability to just open your website (pollev.com) and type a short numeric alias for this poll, eg 155873 - it's much easier to dictate and type, than alphanumeric string.

  15. Display QR code permanently on a poll page

    Now we have ability to use QR codes to easier involve the audience, that's great!

    But seems it's still not possible to display the QR code together with poll results? We should do a manual click to show the QR, and it will cover the whole poll area, making the interactive result invisible.

    So, could you please fix this? Add a new design for the polling results page with a special area for the QR code, that is always visible.

    If this is already possible, please describe how to do this.

  16. Display Multiple Choice Results in Slack Thread

    Poll Everywhere would be a better experience in Slack if Multiple Choice activity results were displayed in a Thread post - similar to Polly, so users are not redirected to a separate web page outside of Slack.

  17. Fix Bug in Text Wall Display - Creeping Slow Display of Responses

    The new visual settings for free text response polls require a choice among text wall, word cloud, and spotlight. Questions created before the change don't have a selection and seem to default to spotlight. Both spotlight and text wall display responses at a creeping slow pace that is unusable. Setting the effect speed to highest makes no difference to this problem. Explicitly selecting text wall or spotlight also doesn't improve the display speed. Please restore something akin to the prior quick display of responses on a text wall as the default!

  18. Reimplement Response Count Display on Instructions Screen/Tab

    The ability to display the response counter on the instructions screen/tab seems to have been deprecated, but having this is an important pedagogical tool. Having the counter on the instructions screen specifically is important, because it allows instructors to see this information without displaying answers to the class. The counter remains available on the results screen, but if results are displayed live while students are answering, students will often choose the most popular choice without thinking for themselves, reducing learning. Our instructors value the results counter for a few reasons.
    1) Seeing the number of responses allows them to be…

  19. Add error messages!

    I found I was unable to put <b> (the correct answer) as a response and save my competition. While the support team was great and got back to me quickly, there should really be an notification on screen that what I'm trying is not allowed; instead of just having the page not to anything at all when I click save 40 times!

  20. Allow users to copy questions to surveys and competitions

    The tool can be easier to use if users can import questions into surveys and competitions. Currently, you can move questions into a folder and then convert the folder into a survey. However, this is limited. Sometimes, instructors want to check students' understanding with individual activities throughout the course. But maybe later they want to check students' understanding with a review activity (a survey or competition). Based on my current understanding, the data will be kept. This can cause confusion and issues with reporting. Thank you!
