Delete or archive multiple questions, classes, or students at once
Having a check box next to the question, class, or student name so that you could choose multiple ones to either delete or archive at one time instead of individually

Mouse Over Image Enlargement
I am using the insert picture feature into my questions, but the images are too small. I believe that I do not have control over the size of the image that your question holds.
My suggestion is a mouse over feature, that would temporarily enlarge the image so that students can see it better on the display.

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.

Highlight the best students for each set of questions.
My students are quite competitive and they were disappointed that we couldn't see who the winner was (students with the most correct answers for a secific set of questions).

Special Needs
It would be awesome to have the letters color coded or use picture symbols instead of letters. This way students who don't read could match colors or pictures instead.

Move student to a new class & their data follows them to the new class.
Is it possible to move a student to a different class and take their scores/report to the new class? Schedules change a lot in the beginning of a new school year. Teachers may have already done assessments and if the student changes classes (but has the same teacher) it would be great to take their data with them when they change class periods.

Make it possible to add choices to the multiple choice list.
Currently 4 choices make it possible to add a few extra if needed. As a math teacher I like to have five options usually adding the option for all of the above or none of the above.

Allow 5 answer choices instead of just 4
It would involve redesigning the cards, but I'd love to have 5 answer choices available. Many standardized tests (like the SAT) have 5 answer choices, and it would be nice to use Plickers to invigorate our SAT prep.
I've had a great experience so far using Plickers in my classroom. Thanks for making the app available!

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.

How about an option to make the cards personal to the student.
If I could include their name on the card, I wouldn't spend time remembering who is which number. Also, if I allowed them to keep cards with them, it would be easier when other teachers find the cards left in their room or hallway.

Plickers card design editor
How about some sort of online editor that allows us to choose a picture to go with each orientation of the QR code, I could use it with the younger pupils as an assessment tool if I could attach smiley faces to each side, for example A=FULL SMILE, B=STRAIGHT FACE C=PUZZLED FACE D=SAD FACE, that way I could see at a glance how my pupils have felt the lesson has gone for them.

Student generated questions
A lot of students are afraid to ask questions, because they don't want to look silly in front of their peers. Plickers could help them by allowing students to generate their own questions on their phones in private, upload the questions to Plickers and the Teachers can scan their cards to reveal questions that they have generated without anyone knowing who came up with the question.

A way to embed the live graph into Powerpoint
With a direct embed into Powerpoint, there would be no clunky switches from presentation to plickers' site. The LiveWeb add-in for Powerpoint embeds the webpage, but is far too inelegant to the point that switching is often better.

Have a "Hide answers" button.
This allows students to think/answer the question BEFORE seeing answers that will guide their thinking. Too often (especially in math, what I teach), the MC solutions guide student thinking, rather than the problem guiding thinking. I want to be able to hide the answers so that students are not working backwards and guessing based on the MC answers.

More than 63 unique cards
I'd like to use Plickers with more than 63 students/respondents at once.
Example uses:
- Model the use of Plickers at large PD sessions (approx. 200 respondents)
- Large university classrooms (100+ respondents)Let us know in a comment how many you'd need!

Mark a student absent
I would like to be able to mark a student absent, so I don't continually think they didn't respond. If possible, the fraction could represent the number of people present that day.
Example: I have 43 students enrolled in the class, 2 students are absent (which I would love to do via plickers - my first scan would be called attendance then if I could click their name and check a box or something to effectively eliminate them from the roster that day it would be amazing. I could do it differently if that is too difficult to program.) After…407 votes
