Polleverywhere

Polleverywhere  is a web site that allows one to build audience response functionality into face-to-face and online events such as presentations and courses. It is easy to respond to prompts through cellphone text messaging, a direct web page interface, and even Twitter.

There is a free plan for polls which have 30 or less respondents; pricing is fairly flexible depending upon the presenter's needs.

It is quite easy to set up poll:

• Create an account
• Create a question
• If a multiple choice question, add responses
• Click the button

For a multiple choice question, the software will respond with the response codes and the number to which the response should be texted. There are a number of options for displaying the data. One can opt to download a PowerPoint slide (.ppt and .pptx formats are available) or can download the data to a spreadsheet. Results are supposed to be almost instantaneous.

This product is quite interesting for courses with 30 or fewer students that do not have Clicker or other Response system software available for their use.
