By Popular Demand: Image Support, Math Equations, Sub and Superscripts

Posted on by

For over a year now we’ve been receiving an overwhelming amount of requests for a new feature: Voteable Images. We waited this long so you’d really be desperate for it. Just kidding, it’s actually really hard to do right.

You probably know how to edit the visual settings of your poll and add a logo or background image to your polls. This is different and even more awesome. You can now add images to your polls as options in a multiple choice poll.

We’re also releasing full LaTeX support. Now all you math and science teachers can add beautiful equations. To create LaTeX, you can use a builder, a cheat sheet, a Google Docs plugin, or just recogize your math handwriting. Start your option with “latex:” so we know to convert it properly

Thanks for letting us know what you wanted. Now get out there and show us what you build! And since we’re clearly out of work to do, suggest something new.

    Thanks Jeff. Your team did a great job with the LaTeX implementation. This will make a huge difference to math & science faculty. I see some improvement since we first discussed this last fall at Presentation Summit.With regard to your “to create LaTeX” sentence, I’d add also that MathType is used by a significant number of educators, and it can produce Poll Everywhere-compatible LaTeX. I’ll add instructions to our “MathType works with Poll Everywhere” page. Currently the page says that one can use LaTeX in a poll. I need to add specific instructions as to how. http://www.dessci.com/en/products/mathtype/works_with.htm?target=poll_everywhereBob MathewsDesign Science
