EchoPoll

Evan Beasley Oct 16, 2024, 23:50 EDT The .csv file downloaded for attendance appears to be a .xlsx file with the tabs and formatting that entails. .csv files are simply values separated by commas and lines, but the attendance file is a lot more complicated than that with formatting - presumably so it’s easier on the eye. Most versions of excel, when opening it, determine that it is actually a .xlsx file, prompt the user to ask if they still want to open it, and open it in that file format, but this function is actually a feature that can be turned off. UWA’s desktop engineering team have it turned off for our enterprise managed devices as it’s a measurable security risk. it is not something we’re likely to be able to change on our end given it would expose UWA to more technological risk than we seem to have an appetite for. I imagine from here our only recourse is to ask for a feature request for a parallel download button for .xlsx or something like that…? I’m not sure why it downloads in .csv format anyway, given it’s clearly not a typical .csv file, but I imagine there’s a reason. I cannot even upload the file as an attachment in this instance :(

Asking if there is any chance they can export analytics into a pdf format?

I would like to suggest that the polling/test results can be downloaded into a report when you drill down to questions, by slides (questions). Right now I can see that information but there is not a way to download the information so that I can put it into a report that I need to complete. Not being able to download the information, I have to manually type it into the report format that I need. Thank you.

I just ran an assignment with a number of short answer questions. Downloading the report gave me answered/unanswered and correct/incorrect. I would really love to be able to download the actual data responses please, so I don't have to cut and paste into an excel spreadsheet to analyse. Thx!

Within EchoPoll+ I was noticing when you want to review a report you are only prompted to choose a course. Is it in the plans to drive clients who does not leverage courses to the My Repots tab from EchoPoll+ in the near future? Since we talk about how courses are not required I feel this may be a helpful enhancement.

It would be good to: 1. add a column for Instructor, to view the name of the presenter. It is currently showing only after the download of the csv 2. remove the 0 Participants polls from the list, as they are often just tests and provide no information.

Due to data protection retention policies would it be possible to have a content retentions options added to the setting of echopoll allowing admin to enforce a policy, with possible override for users.

In PointSolutions, after a live polling question has been answered, presenters have the feature to "slice" the responses, to see how preset groups answer the same questions differently. For example, in a presentation where demographic information (e.g., race, gender, age, etc.) is collected in the beginning, those demographic metrics can be used to slice responses and see how people with different gender identities respond to the same information. This feature is not currently in EchoPoll, but is it in the product road map / will it be a feature in the lasted version of EchoPoll?

When deleting a course I would like the ability to retain results data, either by moving to another course or remaining outside of a course structure

As an instructor we want to give students points for participation- not necessarily for a correct answer. Giving a point for each answer is not ideal as we have different questions in each class and this is difficult to manage. we want participation only points/reports
