What QuestionPress is
QuestionPress is a web-based classroom and audience response system for live interaction, polling, surveys, and online assessments, with an iOS option. It provides Live, Asynchronous, and Polling modes; Polling supports ten times the normal responder limit but does not track individual responder data. Presenters can use yes/no, true/false, multiple choice, short answer, fill-in-the-blank, essay, check-all-that-apply, rating, sorting, numeric, file-upload, and image-answer multiple-choice questions. Several types are scored automatically, all can be scored manually, and scores and responses can be exported to a spreadsheet. Questions can be created, deployed, edited, and rerun during a presentation, with sessions saved for later recall. Polls and sessions can be embedded on websites, and LTI instructions support learning-management-system connections. Security controls include session codes, removing suspicious responders, and closing enrollment. The service is remotely hosted and cannot be installed on a customer server. Each account includes one concurrent session, with additional sessions available for purchase. Annual plans start at 24.00 USD for 35 responders per session; a free trial is limited to five responders and five 35-responder bursts.
