Allow questions to be duplicated/copied
For when teachers use questions with the same answer choices, it would be so much easier to just copy the question and edit what needs to be changed without having to type out the same answer choices multiple times.

Plickers is awesome, but for a better experience it'd be great to import questions and answers (e.g. as a csv or tabspaced)
Plickers is awesome, but for a better experience it'd be great to import questions and answers (e.g. as a csv, database e.g. MySQL or tabspaced). Otherwise you have to type existing question catalogues over and over again... Thank you!

I would like an assessment bank to share questions. Have categories, like 3rd grade fractions or elementary floor hockey. Click to share.
When you write a questions, there could be an option to click on "share." Then you put in it in a age group "Elementary" or "5th grade" and then the topic. For instance, "Elementary volleyball" or "5th grade, division". It would be great when planning a unit, to see if there are questions already ready instead of creating your own each time. It would be a time saver and there would be a better chance the students have a better quality of questions than just me creating them all.

Randomize the order of the answers
I'd like to be able to make the answers appear in random order. That way, if you re-use questions (like I do a lot), students can't just pick the letter they remember was the right answer the last time.

Multiple pictures for questions AND answers
I would like to be able to add more than one picture to the question and I would also like to be able to add pictures (even multiple) for the answers. My 1st graders love Plickers and we are using it, but sometimes they need a picture because they can't yet read all answers and questions.

Enter multiple questions in at one time
Upload a document (like a multiple choice quiz with 20 questions and their answer options) and the questions are automatically entered as 20 separate questions instead of hand typing every question in.

I would like Plickers to interact with ExamView
ExamView talks to blackboard, angel 7.0 and html...but not to Plickers to import questions already saved in a bank. .bnk file

Multiple answers required in order to be correct
Our division and state tests often require students to choose multiple answer choices for a question, however, ALL of the correct answer choices must be selected in order for the question to be considered as correct. On Plickers, multiple answers can be selected as correct, but students only have to choose one of them in order to count as correct. It would be nice if there was an option to create questions with multiple answers, but require that all of the correct choices be chosen in order for the answer to be counted as correct.

Add tags to questions to allow searching of large libraries
FOlders are useful for orghanisation but tags for questions would also allow you to quickly search existing question library for relevant Qs. E.g. folders for organisation by class, but still able to search tags for relevant content/topic.

Built in LATEX equation editor for questions and answers
As a physics teacher it would be a real boon to be able to quickly and easily insert equations to questions and answers. Latex would be perfect for this, and online platforms already exist which convert latex code into an equation image. Combining this with Plickers would be absolutely awesome.

Import Images via Google Drive
The 'Add Image' tool is great! But you can only upload pictures that are saved on your computer. I only use Google Drive and it would be great if I could access images from there instead of only being able to access images saved on my computer. Even better would be the ability to copy and paste images into the question box.

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!

Assessing understanding using Plickers
In our school over here in the UK, we like to ask the children about their current understanding (sometimes at the start, sometimes during and sometimes at the end of lessons). We use traffic light colours to do this. I have added a red dot next to the A, an orange dot next to the B, a green dot next to the C and a white dot next to D. Red normally means limited understanding and need help, amber is getting there, green means they have understood it and white is expert meaning they could teach it someone else. It…

clone a question
Can we please have the ability to clone a question, so that we could input one question and copy it multiple times and edit the answer. eg Factors of Production are Land , Labour, Capital and Enterprise. We could ask students 4 different questions and only change the stem as we would have the four answers in already.

Have the response options be able to be numbers OR letters (e.g. A or 1, B or 2).
For younger students who may not know their letters or are being questioned about their letters, have the responses be letters can get confusing for them. To remove this confusion, having the option to switch from letters to numbers may be helpful.

Enable copied images to be pasted on to the questions.
Please enable copied images to be pasted on otherwise it is a lengthy process to upload each image.
Thank you.
