Import questions from 3rd-party sources
It would be great to be able to create the questions on the website as well as the app and to be able to import preexisting questions from other sources like USA Test Prep, etc.
*Note from Plickers: We'd love to hear more about the resources you'd like to import questions from -- this will better guide us in figuring out what content-providers we'd want to work with down the road to provide better content for you!

Something similar to what Socrative.com has.

I would love for students to add their own questions onto a Google spreadsheet that I could import into Plickers. For instance, we are going to play a game called "Two Truths and a Lie." I would like the kids to type the question "Which one is the lie?" and provide the two facts and a lie. The other students would then vote to see which one they thought was a lie. Hope that makes sense! Thanks for all you do!

It would be great to be able to import questions from ExamView Test Generator. Just FYI, EV let's you export tests to be imported into an LMS (like Blackboard). Maybe this can be used by Plickers in the same way....

Hi Friends,
It sounds like there are a couple of ideas rolling around in this "Idea" :
- the ability to import questions from 3rd-party sources and test banks
- the ability to import questions from your own resources like spreadsheets, etc.To better differentiate these 2 different features (one requiring partnerships, and one just requiring a bit of engineering on our part), I'm designating this as a "3rd-party sources" import, and making the existing "Allow questions import from spreadsheet" the teacher resource idea --- you can go vote for it here: http://plickers.uservoice.com/forums/194176-ideas/suggestions/6643366-allow-question-upload-from-spreadsheets.
It'd be great if we could make this comment thread about all of the 3rd-party resources you'd specifically like to see on Plickers!
Thanks!
Jenn

This is a needed addition to your awesome program.
It could be as easy as the copy and paste feature you already have to load your classes. -

Ideas:
1. Import questions from CSV format or the .tst format using HS ExamView test generator. The HS ExamView Test Generator uses a variety of textbooks from different publishers.
2. Add folders to the library so the questions can be stored by topic.
