Rearranging polls within a group
When I am rearranging the polls within a group, it is terribly frustrating that it jumps me to the top of my list of group with a message under each one that the group has to be expanded in order to drag to a poll to it. The page should not jump and I should be able to drag/drop by polls within a group without having to scroll back down to the group.
3 votesThis is FIXED! Our very own Brad Lindsey worked over the weekend and knocked a problem we thought would take much longer.
If you go to rearrange a poll now, none of the groups will immediately expand. If you drag the poll over a collapsed group and pause for a few seconds, the group will expand and allow you to drop the poll there.

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

Menu options
Add buttons on the menu (horizontal or at left) to COLLAPSE ALL, SHOW ALL polls
7 votesWe have added a new Collapse All option to our My Polls dashboard. To collapse all of your groups, polls, and surveys
Click on the small checkmark to the top left of the page > then select Collapse All in the drop down menu.

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!

Can we integrate this software with the Desire2Learn Learning Management System?
It would be nice to have a quick way to poll students in an online course created in the Desire2Learn Learning Management System software.

We have some instructions for how to do this here: https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/788325-embed-a-webpage-with-poll-ev-presenter-pc-only

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.
1. You can search any publicly shared polls made by other educators at polleverywhere.com/polls and copy them to your account with the click of a button
2. If an educator you know has some questions they’d like to share with you – they can use our Private Link to send an email with a link to their poll. You can see some of the details about this on our user guide at:

select correct multiple choice responses at question creation stage
Ability to select the correct answer(s) at the question create stage. it's very cumbersome to have to create a question, then go to edit, then select "grade incoming responses" before you can do this. Would also be good to have a way of doing this with bulk create, e.g. marking each correct response with an asterix, for example: what is the capital of germany? Berlin*, Paris, London, Madrid
13 votesWe just shipped this one out! It’s been too long coming, but should really save some time. Whenever you make a Multiple Choice Poll you may now select the grey checkmark to select the correct answer. That’s it!
The edit poll method is still available, but you can now mark the correct answer as you create a question.
Check it out here for more details! https://polleverywhere.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/articles/160757
