Ideas

How can we improve Poll Everywhere?

You've used all your votes and won't be able to post a new idea, but you can still search and comment on existing ideas.

There are two ways to get more votes:

  • When an admin closes an idea you've voted on, you'll get your votes back from that idea.
  • You can remove your votes from an open idea you support.
  • To see ideas you have already voted on, select the "My feedback" filter and select "My open ideas".
(thinking…)

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

If a similar idea already exists, you can support and comment on it.

If it doesn't exist, you can post your idea so others can support it.

Enter your idea and we'll search to see if someone has already suggested it.

  1. Custom Text Messages

    Would love to be able to customize the initial text message that participants receive. We’re finding that our users are confused with the message they receive since it doesn’t provide them with an action to take. The only action it provides is what to do when they're done (reply LEAVE). It just seems odd to be able to customize the reply message, but not the initial one.

    Well, unfortunately we have to send that text message for legal reasons. It’s part of the Mobile Marketing Association Best Practices which necessitates that we inform anyone using us clearly the name of the company responsible for the message and clear instructions for how to prevent more messages (reply LEAVE).

    So, there’s not a whole lot we can do until some of the rules/laws change. Sorry for the bad news, but that’s an excellent question and we appreciate the feedback!

  2. Change or Allow Administrators to Customize the Wording of the Texbox for Q&A (So it Doesn't Say Response)

    Right now the default message for the Q&A textbox says "Enter a response". The wording above also says "You have not responded." This wording is confusing, we want people to enter a question (not a response.) Please change the wording or allow the administrator to customize the wording

    Unfortunately, we just cannot be sure if that will be true for most of our customers. Some will be using it for questions others for comments or replies. Our goal was to find a more generic term that will work for everyone.

    That said, we can do some customization options for individual clients as part of our Custom Branding package for our enterprise clients. If you are interested, please contact sales@polleverywhere.com and we can get you set up with a quote for customizing anything on the response page.

  3. Place a hyperlink in the question to direct students to a webpage before responding.

    It would be nice to be able to link text to an outside webpage for students to be directed to before they respond to the question. Keeps students from wandering or fumbling with a long url.

    Unfortunately, we are unable to link out to external websites for security purposes. It is something that we’d love to do and I certainly understand the draw.

    While 99% of the time people presenting polls have nothing but good intentions, we need to protect all participants by assuring that any link/URL posted on a Poll Everywhere poll is a safe, secure link that we own.

    Thank you for the feature request! Sorry that we aren’t able to help out more for this. My best recommendation is to post the link the title or something and let the students copy/paste

    BUT SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE WANT TO TEST AND SEE IT IS WORKING, OR EVEN VOTE THEMSELVES. FOR PEOPLE LIKE YOU, YOU CAN JUST CLEAR THE POLL BEFORE YOU RUN IT WITH OTHERS. ONE CLICK!

  5. Music

    music in the background would be great. loads of research to show the importance of music in education.
