This features is only available for premium and corporate users. Please contact us, if you're interested. 

We made a few enhancements to our service based on user feedback which we received within the last months. These features are now online:

Introducing sessions We added a new hierarchy level into classes. Teachers can now group their questions in sessions - e.g. when teaching a whole semester it's possible to organize the questions into week 1, week 2, week 3 etc.

Question copy It's now possible to create new copies of a question and save them in other sessions or classes.

LaTeX Formula Display We redesigned the formula entry and now show a preview only of the formula when entering or editing the LaTeX code.

Answer counts in charts are automatically updated  It's no longer necessary to refresh the browser to see if the answer counts on the class page or public view of a question are updated.

Simplified Dashboard We eliminated the counts from the dashboard because we thought it's an obsolete information.

This was how it looked like before

Working with Letsfeedback is really easy. Our user interface is very simple, intuitive and no training is required.

To begin with there’re 4 steps involved:

Registration - create your user account

Create a class

Create questions

Publish the class - enable audience interaction

You can directly go to letsfeedback.com and select Register from the top menu. Another option which we recommend is to select Demo.

Selecting Demo will take you to our sample classes which show all options for creating questions. If you klick on Register here the samples are copied into your account and you’ll have some templates and reference classes.

Enter your email and password to register. Then switch to your email inbox and click on the link in the email sent by Letsfeedback. In case you don’t see any email from us, please check your spam folder.

Create your first class with + Add New Class. You can also look at the Demo Classes now, go ahead from there, or delete the ones you don't need. 

Give your class a name

Click on + Add New Question to create the first one

Enter your question. In the example shown below it's Where is Paris? If you click on Add Question now, you'll create an open ended question and your students can enter any text as an answer. If you want to create a multiple-choice question simply start typing an answer. Once you typed an answer, automatically you'll see the next field and you can go ahead adding other choices.

After adding the question the status is active. But you can also set it inactive and activate them in the course of the class. Just press in the button to switch between active and inactive. By doing this you can prepare many questions beforehand, but your students will only see the active ones.

Once you created your questions and they are active, you need to publish your class, so your students can access and answer them. Use the switch to publish your class.

Below the Login code which your audience can use to access your questions, you'll see a button Present Class in new tab

Clicking on the button will open a new browser tab. This will be the one which you can show to your audience without showing them all of your questions and dashboard.

There are three ways how your students can see your questions:

you provide the public access link which you publish on your website, in Moodle, Facebook/Twitter etc. or print it in the hand-outs,

you enlarge the QR-Code so your students can scan it from the projector screen with their SmartPhones,

they simply go to letsfeedback.com and check-in with the code.

Your students don't need any account, nor they need to register. They just check-in with a code!

When you click-on Start questions you can display your questions one-by-one to your audience.

When your students have entered their answers you can click on Show results to audience and display the answer chart.

Your students need a SmartPhone, Tablet or Notebook with internet access. There is no need to install any Mobile App or program on the computer. They open the browser, navigate to letsfeedback.com and use the class-code you've given to them.

Then they'll see your questions and submit an answer by clicking on the question.

Today we introduced a number of enhancements to the Student Response System Letsfeedback:

New question type numeric, details

Progress bar for audience answers, details

Mark a multiple-choice answer as correct, details

Jump from a question directly into the presentation mode, details

As an addition to multiple-choice and open ended questions we introduced a new question type: numeric. The presenter can ask the audience to enter a number as an answer of a question and define the error tolerance. The audience only can enter a number as an answer.

So, in this example we entered the correct answer 70 and set the the error tolerance.

When clicking on View answer chart we get:

Here we can change the display type from Graph to Table:

The graph can also be shown in the presentation mode:

For multiple-choice questions it's now possible to mark the correct answer. In the example below it's D: Einstein

When displaying the chart the correct answer is highlighted:

We introduced the progress bar for each question. Now one can see right away how many students have responded and how many not.

It's now possible to get to a particullar question within the presentation mode directly from the question. So, e.g. if you have 20 questions and want to present question 12 you don't need to scroll through questions 1-11 first.

Klicking the Present option opens the question in presentation mode

With Letsfeedback it's possible to include formulas into your questions by using the widely known LaTeX language. This feature makes Letsfeedback the ideal Student Response System for teaching STEM classes.

Please check out our sample classes to see this live.

This it how it works: Simply write your question text and delimit the LaTex code with the delimiters, which you can set in your account settings. You can choose between to common options: 

You can also use LaTeX in the answers, and even your students within the questions from the audience. 

When using an inline delimiter, the formula is displayed within the text:

If you use a display delimiter the formula is displayed in a separate line:
