The E-Voting activity module enables students to vote via their smartphone or their laptop and to have the results displayed on a graph in real time.
The E-Voting activity is ideal to capture the attention of wide groups. It increases interactions between "Professors-Students". Therefore, it supports a flipped class type of activity.
E-voting can be used in class to check knowledge at the end of a course or to animate theoretical presentations.
Usage

- Add an activity or resource

- scan this QR Code with a QR Code reader installed on their Smartphone
- access with URL above the QR Code

- Click "Start button" to start the e-voting poll (you can select if you want time for voting or not)
- Only at this moment, your student can vote with Smartphone, laptop, ...

When I have more time, I will upload a new version with some improvement.
I look forward to using this later once this has been more stable. Great work though and great idea. Im sure alot of people would enjoy using this feature.
I like your plugin very much! It can be very helpful in teaching for many teachers in my university. However, since I am in China and your plugin refers to code from Google from js/google-jsapi.js. I cannot user your plugin in the classroom since Google is blocked in China. I wondered whether you could add the code to your plugin so that it does not need to depend on Google. I am looking forward to hearing back from you.
Thank you for your reply. I wondered whether the Google script can be added into your plugin code but not referring to Google. Then the users in China can also use it.

This is sometjing to add to the wish list:
It would great to have the count of people ready to vote.
I mean in the teacher's view, once the people has entered the activity by any way (code scan, click on the activity), knowing the number of people ready to vote would be helpful in order to start the poll.
I was running a moodle server in a Wireless LAN without internet to test your plugin. The alternatives of the question and the QR were not be displayed. Do you know what is the problem?. Thanks in advance
