Hi All, I was wondering if anyone has an elegant solution for polling within a Rise course? The Knowledge Check and Quiz features don't work well as the KC can be taken again and again and the Quiz requires a 'right' and 'wrong' answer and then displays your percentage at the end. At the moment I'm embedding a Google Form, however, this is also imperfect as I am unable to limit number of responses (this functionality is contingent on logging in to Google). Any creative fixes out there?

Subscribing to this thread, because polling is what I've been calling the "missing feature" of tools like Captivate and Rise for a while now.I used to use a phenomenal little embeddable polling platform called Wedgies, but they were bought out by another company and the service utterly vanished.I've spent a fair amount of time looking for a viable alternative, but there are very few services that are embeddable, unlimited, and attractive with white label branding options without also costing a fortune (if you know otherwise, PLEASE share). About the best compromise that I've found is poll-maker.com, but I don't love it. In the meantime, I've begun hosting a Wordpress integration called TotalPoll from TotalSuite.net. The license is pretty affordable, and you need to have a mild amount of technical savvy to get everything situated. This allows me to create, manage, embed, and monitor my own polls for use in Articulate Rise projects as an iframe. Here's an example of what it looks like in action.

Looks like that was the problem, JR! Glad we could solve it.

Unfortunately not. There does not seem to be a way to change the height of the embed block or the embedded item, just the responsiveness of the width. My survey still requires users to scroll.

Hi friends, I just wanted to share that I used MS Forms (in MS Teams) to conduct a social poll within a Rise course. Used the Multimedia block and embed code to the poll and also to the results. It looks great!

  Have you figured out how to scale short polls? Even a short 3 question poll leaves users scrolling.

I know this is a post from a year ago but I just searched for this as I am trying to embed poll everywhere to Rise but have no clue how to do that... Would someone be able to help?

  Take out the closing </iframe> tag.
  So instead of...
  <iframe src="URL"></iframe>
  
  Do this...
  <iframe src="URL">

Happy to help you, Dorota!

First, insert a multimedia embed block. Click the Edit button, then click Change. Now you'll see a field where you can insert an iFrame code.

Use the formula <iframe src="URL"></iframe>. Just replace URL with the link for the Poll Everywhere content you want to embed.

Let me know how it goes!

Hi, Alyssa-

Something is not working. I get an error message to enter a valid URL or iframe. I might be doing something incorrectly... This is how I try to enter it:

<iframe src="https://PollEv.com/free_text_polls/EC0Trq5SnlLOOjmfL49ek/web"></iframe>

Thank you so much!!

Hi Dorota! Can you send me the direct link to the poll? I'll try and create a new iFrame code. Thanks!

Hi Dorota!

When I opened that link, I see a blank page with a dark blue background. Is that what you're seeing too?

Hmm...how about this: https://www.polleverywhere.com/free_text_polls/EC0Trq5SnlLOOjmfL49ek

Clearly, I am doing something wrong. I have never used poll everywhere before so am trying to figure this all out. Thank you so much for your patience!! ;-)

Has there been any progress on this?

PollEverywhere is an Embedly content provider which the Articulate support page states should work seemlessly. Attempting to either put https://PollEv.com/surveys/V4Vrqibzou3vTWFjpVVAs/respond or <iframe src="https://PollEv.com/surveys/V4Vrqibzou3vTWFjpVVAs/respond"></iframe> returns an error asking for a "valid URL".

  Hey there, JR. The URL and embed code are working for me here in this mock-up.
  
  What browser are you using? Is there any difference if you use another supported browser (Firefox, Edge, Chrome, Safari)?
