A plugin for running quizzes live in a classroom. It works well with Multiple Choice questions and employs AJAX to show responses in real-time.
This plugin, and work around it, was presented at MootUS15. John Hoopes is a developer at the University of Wisconsin, so it has their backing.
This plugin is based on one by Davo Smith (Realtime Quiz, which seems to have been abandoned except for version updates).
