Responder follow up
Allow post-presentation responding to questions, answers, etc.
3 votesI would recommend using our Survey feature to get post-presentation feedback or follow up. If you have all of your poll questions organized in a Group > at the end of your presentation you can then Convert the group to a Survey > Activate all of the poll questions in the group by making it a Survey. All of your poll questions with then appear right on your regular pollev.com/USERNAME page
The whole thing is about 2 button clicks, I promise!
For some more information and helpful screenshots on surveys you can check out this article: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/160748

attendance
some way of tracking class attendance
4 votesWe can do this with our new Participant feature added to our updated Reporting Suite. The step by step details for our best practices to attendance and using Participant Groups can be found here (note this will require one of our plans which comes with Reporting features):

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

Select multiple choices in a poll
Can I do multi-choice polls where people can vote on more than one option?
e.g.
Do you like
fish
meat
vegetables
fruit
dairyI'd like people to be able to vote on more than one option. It might be I just don't know my way round polleverywhere yet, but that'd be useful for some of the tech presentations (e.g. which technologies do you have deployed)
4 votesWe have a setting in our “Features lab” which will let you restrict your audience to only select each option once. It isn’t set up for Text Message responses, but is otherwise all set to go. Here’s how it works:
1. Go to https://www.polleverywhere.com/labs
2. click Enable for the “Disable duplicate responses” feature and click “Apply lab settings”
3. navigate back to your multiple choice poll, click the Response Setting menu on the right side of the poll
4. then click the checkbox for Disable duplicate responsesNow, when you present that poll > we will disable (grey out) each response that the audience sends in.

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…

Teachers sharing ideas
A way for teachers to share their poll ideas with other teachers.
7 votesWhat exactly do you have in mind? There are a few things we can do today to help share polls and ideas.

Set up LTI integration with Sakai LMS
We have a number of faculty at Notre Dame who ask us each semester when Poll Everywhere will be integrated with Sakai. I'm sure other Sakai schools would have an interest in this integration as well (list of Sakai schools: https://sakaiproject.org/community).
I know you already have integrations with Blackboard and Canvas. If you created this integration for Canvas with LTI (Learning Tools Interoperability http://www.imsglobal.org/lti/), then creating one for Sakai would be very easy. We would be very interested in helping you to accomplish this integration with Sakai and would offer you the use of our Sakai test server…
54 votesThis is completed and available for anyone on a university wide license with Poll Everywhere. You can see details of our Sakai integration (using LTI 2.0) on our support page here: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/sakai/setup
Contact our sales team if you’re interested in getting it setup for your university!
