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

  1. As a teacher, on your course, turn editing on
  2. Add an activity or resource
  3. Select E-Voting
  4. Fill the form to create a new E-Voting poll
  5. On the E-Voting page, Click on the QR Code to show it bigger
  6. Your students in class shall have the option for seeing the vote panel to:
    • scan this QR Code with a QR Code reader installed on their Smartphone
    • access with URL above the QR Code
    • click on the activity in the course page
  7. Click "Start button" to start the e-voting poll (you can select if you want time for voting or not)
  8. Only at this moment, your student can vote with Smartphone, laptop, ...
  9. When you want to stop the poll, click the "Stop button"

    Hi David,

    To fix the issue on the adaptable theme, you can comment these lines on file style.css on evoting folder and clear cache in Moodle.

    /*
    body.path-mod-evoting .container {
    display: table;
    width: 100%;
    height: 33.3%;
    padding: 0px;
    }

    body.path-mod-evoting .container div {
    display: table-cell;
    text-align: center;
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 50%
    }
    */

    When I have more time, I will upload a new version with some improvement.

    This is really good, ive played about with this on moodle 3.2 with the adaptable theme but seems to hang and timeout my site but the actual voting functionality is brilliant. This is something i would definitely use in the classroom. Just a bit of feedback though, it would be nice for the option to automatically move to the next question after the time runs out rather than clicking on each question and maybe a report at the end on how the voting went.

    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.

    Hi Christophe,

    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.

    Hi Christophe,

    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.

    How do you get the shortened URL as you have in your example picture of the QR code?

    I received some issues reports with shortened URL, but if you are interested with that, you can replace on :

    view.php - line 65

    define('QRCODE_URL', $protocol . $path ."/". QRCODE_URL_LINK);
    by
    define('QRCODE_URL', evoting_get_tiny_url($protocol . $path ."/". QRCODE_URL_LINK));

    Hi ther!

    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.

    Excellent idea, thanks for the wish, we will note that for futures features.

    hello Christophe.
    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
