How can we improve Poll Everywhere?

← Educators' Ideas

Participant list should not show every person in the account to all users

We have 10,000 participants and growing in our enterprise account. Users can see every participant in the course which is both confusing and intimidating. This is useful from the admin perspective, but regular faculty/staff users should only be able to see participants in the groups they have set up. They should be able to search for a participants across the account, but not see the entire list, unless they choose to.

This is out and available! We changed our default displays for the Participants Table. Here’s a breakdown of the logic

- If you are a regular user (faculty member), when you go to the participants page it will only load the participants that are in Participant Groups that this particular user has made. So, it will only load and display the courses that professor has uploaded

- If you are a regular user and use the Search menu, then it will search over all of the participants on the account.

- Account Owners and Admins will still see all of the participants on the account by default.

- All users may click the Ungrouped option on the top right of the page to see all of the registered participants (students) on the account

Hope this helps! And, please let us know if you have any feedback

    Thanks Brian for the update!

    If students are listed as regular users, are they able to view all of the other user accounts at the university? What will students be able to view and search? Do any of these abilities compromise FERPA?

    Thanks again!

    Hiding "Ungrouped" participants (or making the the ungrouped filter unselected by default) would be a good solution to this. We don't want to eliminate the ability for users to search for a registered participant, they just don't need the firehose of usernames when a user goes to the Participants page.

    I have 1,200 students in my class. It would be helpful to not see additional students who are not in my course. Yes, 1,200.

    >>"Users can see every participant in the course which is both confusing and intimidating."

    That should have said "account" not "course".
