Objective

Pollster is an audience feedback tool. A presenter, or instructor, prompts the audience with a question who then respond with a click to signal their choice.

A version of Pollster is available under a Creative Commons license (locations to be posted here soon, if you are unable to find a display please contact me).

A page has been set up to provide instructions, additional information, and support for users of Pollster.

Interactivity

Presenter can write polling prompts in advance, loading them into the object with a single notecard. One click by the owner sets the polling in action. Once prompted, the audience or class members click on any of the large panels and their selections are registered. The number of votes are then displayed automatically in the smaller blocks of corresponding color. Presenter can easily reset the object by touch or chat command.

Features

• Complete instructions provided, along with support through this wiki.
• Easy preparation of polling prompts with a formatted notecard.
• Simple operation with a click of the base by the owner; no one else can operate.
• Audience response options are displayed in floating text above Pollster panels.
• Each avatar gets only one vote!

Feature Requests

Add textures to panels to represent options, such as A B C D or Strongly Agree, Disagree, Strongly Disagree (replacing colors with textures of these).

Ability to switch between response option configurations

Poll results sent to external script (which writes to database or XML file).
