Polling Tool

The Polling tool is an extension to the BSCW software from FIT which allows the construction of online (web) questionnaires. In IPerG, the tool has been used to perform online player interviews, with the aim of gathering player experiences for the sake of post-game evaluation. BSCW polls consist of a number of questions, each offering a list of answers selected from several types of answers. A poll can be open for voting either only to the member group of a workspace in which it was created or to the general public. There are a number of configuration options for polls, e.g., voting may be limited to a particular voting period for the poll. Poll results may be viewed in graphical form during and after the voting period; voting results may also be exported for further processing.

The BSCW is included in the BSCW commercially licensed product (http://www.bscw.de/en/copyright.html)
