View who sent them
I would like to be able to view who sent the voting in. I would like to be able to make sure my students are not voting multiple times. Thanks
1 voteYou can use the participant registration feature to identify who is voting: http://www.polleverywhere.com/features/participant_reporting
You can restrict polls to only allow responses from registered participants as well as restrict the number of votes per participant from a poll’s edit menu.

Moderator
I'd like to have a separate moderator screen so I can moderate live with out having to freeze and unfreeze, max and min.
1 voteThis is how the moderator feature works!
Use the moderator on a separate screen, display, or computer to update other open instances of the poll.

Enable Session / Custom Keyword
How and when will the enable session feature be changing? I know when I go to do this on a poll or a group of polls - it says this feature will not be available in a month or so. What options will be made available to keep your poll answer options not 5 digits long?
1 voteHi Amanda,
Great question! Basically, we’re working on a new keyword model that has your participants first join YOU as the presenter by texting your username. This will allow you to set any keyword you like on your polls, as you won’t be sharing the same space with other Poll Everywhere users.
It’s taking awhile longer than we initially hoped because we’re making sure it’s going to be great! There will certainly be site wide reminders and maybe even an email when we implement this change.
Let me know if you have more questions!

Choosing more than one multiple choice answer
I need participants to choose more than one correct answer from a list of possible choices. How do I do this?
1 voteYou can change this setting under a poll’s “edit” menu. You’ll see an edit link next to the poll title on your My Polls screen or in the upper right hand corner beneath the Stop button when viewing a poll’s chart.
Alternatively, you can alter this setting on multiple polls at once by using the “Edit Multiple” button at the top right of the My Polls screen.
Change the “responses” section to allow either unlimited or a set number of responses per participant.

Letting them choose multiple answers when they apply
For example, I am polling the class on who has what and I want them to check all that apply instead of having to do multiple polls where they check yes or no
4 votesThis is currently possible by allowing participants to vote more than once on the same poll. You could also add an option like “all of the above.” You can edit the number of responses allowed by participant in a poll’s edit menu or by using the “edit multiple” button at the top of your My Polls page. http://www.polleverywhere.com/guide#responses_per_participant

Options for font size
The font size for my question is very large, and the font size for my questions is so small that they can't be read. If I could change the font size then I could fix it.

Web voting will certainly work. For texting check the following: http://www.polleverywhere.com/faq#international-sms

Restrict responders on each poll in a survey through "multiple editing"
Restricting the responders to registered participants is great for individual polls, but when I put together a long survey of polls for a quiz (I'm a teacher), it takes forever to have to restrict each poll in that survey. Please add the option to restrict participants to registered participants in the "Edit multiple" option. Please.

Game Show Quiz Option?
I work with Elementary aged kids and I know that game show type questions really stir learning and competition. Is there a way to ask a question, see the reults like it's set up, then reveal the correct answer?
I know there are lots of creative ideas for live "poll" testing and even keep score??

You can add images to the background or as a logo in the title. The best way to integrate a table or graph with a poll question is to embed both in a PowerPoint presentation.

Integrate with BlackBoard
Integrate with the LMS Blackboard.
56 votesHello awesome educators! I have some good news. We’ve completed the updates necessary for you to import the list of students (class rosters) from Blackboard into Poll Everywhere! You might have already heard from our previous newsletter but we’re really excited about this new feature. We’re also working on better integrating other aspects of Blackboard and Poll Everywhere for the future!
Thank you for your support, loyalty, and patience!
Cheers,
Dani

Yes! If you hover your mouse over the right hand corner of a Multiple Choice Poll’s Live Chart, you will see a few pop-up controls appear. One of these “Show Instructions” allows you to toggle between the chart results and instructions view. This allows you to hide the results until a time of your choosing, while still providing the necessary voting instructions.
