Polls don’t display in PowerPoint! by Jeff http://blog.polleverywhere.com/2008/01/20/help-polls-dont-display-in-powerpoint/#comment-116 Jeff Sat, 02 Aug 2008 20:23:02 +0000 http://blog.polleverywhere.com/2008/01/20/help-polls-dont-display-in-powerpoint/#comment-116 Hi Cynthia - My guess is that you are viewing the slide in PowerPoint's editor mode. The poll isn't activated until the presentation is placed in slide show mode. Try pressing F5 in PowerPoint and see if the poll loads and is visible. If this doesn't resolve your problem, please give us a call at +1 (773) 382-0377 and we'll be happy to walk through troubleshooting your issue.

This occurs even when I make sure to enable the ActiveX content. I just get a blank slide with a big, thin black X across it. I'm sort of interested in using your product for my classes, but not if I cannot get it to work.

While I will never be a fan of the lecture course, I do know that those can be made "better" through the use of truly interactive technologies. But I also know that these kind of interactive systems delivered via the hybrid mix you discuss, can impact even mid-size - really even small classes - in big ways. And when this technology is run with ubiquitous technologies it enables not just student-to-teacher and teacher-to-student communication, but can build and really add value to the back channel in the room. As someone passionate about the transformative capabilities of technology, the investment of large sums of time and money into a single-function system based in already antiquated technologies make me crazy. It encourages all who say "technology costs a lot and does very little." Which is true when investments are made unwisely. Best of luck to you as you build your capacity, and build your interactive capabilities. I'm rooting for you. Thank you for bringing your expertise to the conversation.

However, in order to track votes associated with a user's particular email, they would need to have an account with Poll Everywhere and would need to be logged into their Poll Everywhere account while voting on your poll. The email/user that would be associated with their response to your poll would be the email/user that they supplied when they signed up for an account with us.

I would also like to be able to identify the persons who made the specific choices. Will this be possible in the near future?
