online components
option to use for face to face class polls, but then have an equivalent (or similar poll for online students
6 votesI would recommend using our Survey View link for this type of scenario. It allows participants to respond to multiple questions at once via the web. It only supports multiple choice and open ended polls so far. You can email out this link to your online students to participate. You can read about it in more detail here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#multipoll_survey

attendance
some way of tracking class attendance

Admins assist users with polls
Allow admins to help with polls by users
6 votesSure! Administrators on accounts with multiple users can do this today through the Account Polls menu. The administrator can go to the My Polls page > then select Account Polls on the left side of the page. The Account Polls page will show the polls for all of the users on the same account that you have permissions access to. From here you may view their polls, view their results, and make certain edits to them.
If you do not see the user who you are trying to help on the page you may need to adjust your User Group settings in order to have permission to see this users poll’s. You can see more details for how that works here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/802212

Chat Feature
Allow a ticker/banner at the bottom of the poll for live commenting during polls and discussion!
7 votesWe do have some ways to do this right now! You can use our Open Ended Poll Question in either Ticker or Text Wall view to get some live comments. Or, you can use our new Q&A/Brainstorm poll to get live comments and have the rest of your class give up/downvotes to support comments they like.
You could either ask one question and then follow up with an open ended poll for comments. Or, you can display each poll question on different projectors, or use a split screen to display both polls at once. Please email us at support@polleverywhere.com if you’d like some specific instructions for how!

Share polls between accounts
Allow people to share polls. As a teacher at a school that has 16 people in my department that teach the same book. If we could share a poll from one account to anther, it would help with preparation times. Possibly allow a download number for a poll or something like that.
4 votesThere are two ways to do this right now. The first, and ideal for us, is that any school-wide, department-wide, or university-wide plans with multiple users on the same account may quickly and easily share polls with each other. There’s an option under the Edit Multiple button to move polls from one user on an account to another. You can read about this in more detail here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/160770-moving-multiple-polls-between-groups-or-users
Otherwise, you can share individual polls with each other by sending the URL for the poll question itself.
1. Copy the URLs of the polls you’d like to share onto a list. (Copy the address while it’s in live chart view, not instructional or survey view.)
2. Give them the list of URLs.
3. Have them log into her own Poll Everywhere account.
4. Have them enter the URL for the first poll, and then add this: /copy to the end of…
