We built the QR code feature as a way for participants to join a presentation quickly without having to type a pollev.com/username.
We have a feature that is available on all premium education accounts called “Hide activity titles” which was designed to encourage students to physically be in the classroom by not displaying the title of any activity questions on the participant site or app. We encourage using this for attendance and participation credit: https://www.polleverywhere.com/support/articles/response-settings/activity-title-blocker

This is great, thanks for the request! We are in some of the very initial design stages for what we’re calling a “Participant Dashboard” which students would be able to easily access from their mobile devices or computers and review this type of information.
Enrolled groups and a “correctness rate” as a proxy for their grade are both doable. The participation rate and generally displaying poll questions they did not respond to is much tougher. With faculty who use Poll Everywhere across multiple courses it is difficult for us to currently know which group/class the polls are for. And, we have some users who do not want to show questions participants did not answer to prevent any cheating or as an incentive to show up to class and answer. So, there are some business concerns as well for that.
Would it work for you all if we had an ability…

Hi Brian,
I, and many of my colleagues, do not want to use "correctness rate" as a proxy for grade because we are grading by participation and not by correctness. We want students to feel encouraged to answer, even if their answers are incorrect, so that they may learn. We also sometimes may ask questions that do not have a right or a wrong answer to solicit student feedback. And if the poll has closed, I see no reason for concern about "cheating." So I would strongly recommend reconsidering your position on not including a participation rate. If you were able to add a feature on the instructor side allowing instructors to link poll questions to specific classes, this would not be difficult to implement.
I also think that the idea of leaving all polls available for students to review afterward would be useful.

Here are some features I would like to see as an educator:
1) The option of having a code that participants must enter to participate in a survey
2) The option of randomizing questions within a survey
3) A way of monitoring participants' device usage and locking them out of participating in a survey if they navigate away from the survey in their browser. (This should also give the administrator the ability to unlock it for those participants based on their usage, like Top Hat Test does.)
4) A way to separate participants’ response history by question group (e.g., so I can have separate groups for week 1, week 2, etc.)
5) A way to display to participants the questions (perhaps within a particular question group) that they did NOT respond to.
6) A geo-located version so that people can only participate in polls if they are near the classroom.
