The Short Answer question type when embedded in PowerPoint does not display the full student response, when an academic displays the results to the class. Any discussion which might arise from student's responses is hampered, as the responses are truncated. Although the EchoPoll short answer questions support up to 500 characters, only about 15 characters are actually displayed. Attached are screenshots from student smartphone, display on screen and Results in echopoll.au. At least 125 characters per student response would be feasible.
