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"

    Thanks for a new version. Can you please summarise and shortly describe the changes in it? It seems that the release notes just copy the plugin description with no actual information of the changes / improvements in the release.

    Hi, principally we add more security :
    - use session key, check ajax call, use require_parameter / opional_parameter method. with ajax call for anonymous user and too require_login / isLoggin() for authenticate user.

    Thanks for uploading a new version. However I don't think it is much closer to being accepted for now, to be honest. I reported more details into separate issues in your bug tracker. There are some significant bugs - like a lack of authorisation for certain operations where one would expect it (sesskey confirmation protects from cross site request forgery, it is important to understand what it does and does not). Other things like hard-coded prefix of database tables in SQL queries may make the plugin unusable on many sites. I must mark this as needing more again, thanks for understanding.

    New version fix some bugs / best practices :
    - choice limit settings at site level
    - improve authorisation with ajax
    - rename prefix functions and prefix tables
    - some minor improvement (access session variables, lang detection, etc.)
    - bug fix jquery

    documentation at http://goqr.me/api/doc/create-qr-code/


    de: ungültige 'create-qr-code'-API-Anfrage. Bitte beachten Sie die
    API-Dokumenation unter http://goqr.me/de/api/doc/create-qr-code/"

    If the QR Code doesn't appear :

    You can try this :

    View.php

    line 59 (replace content by) :
    define('QRCODE_URL', $protocol . $path ."/". QRCODE_URL_LINK);

    Line 93 (replace content by) :
    $qrCodeS = "https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?color=000000&bgcolor=FFFFFF&data=" . urlencode(QRCODE_URL) ."&qzone=1&margin=0&size=60x60&ecc=L";

    Line 108 (replace content by) :
    $qrCode = "https://api.qrserver.com/v1/create-qr-code/?color=000000&bgcolor=FFFFFF&data=" . urlencode(QRCODE_URL) ."&qzone=1&margin=0&size=400x400&ecc=L";

    Keep me in touch,

    Hi Christophe,

    I experience a problem with the QR-code-link en the link itself.
    They links me to http://mysite.etc instead of httpS://mysite.etc.

    What do I wrong? Can you fix it?

    Regards,
    Kees.

    I didn't have much success with this plug-in on the adaptable theme, install when well, then added to the frontpage and a course. The configuration fields were all over the place, gray box at top of page pushed fields into the footer, and fields overlayed with other fields. Uninstalling the plug-in at least worked. I am on 3.1
