PINGO

What PINGO is

PINGO is a browser-based audience response system for live polls and classroom interaction. Participants can answer on an internet-connected device without signing up, and anonymous responses are supported. It is designed particularly for higher education and is also presented for K-12 schools and corporate training. Questions may be open, numerical, single-choice, or multiple-choice, with TeX support. Lecturers can save prepared questions in a keyword-indexed catalogue and share them with other lecturers; recipients need a PINGO account using their email address. Questions can be imported or exported in Moodle XML, Aiken/Pearson, CSV, and GIFT formats. Results may be shown as diagrams, histograms, or tag clouds, with correct answers highlighted. PINGO Remote lets presenters start surveys and view results in a floating window over slides without opening a browser. The free, open-source desktop app supports Windows 10 and macOS 10.12 or later and works with presentation software or PDF viewers, but needs an internet connection. PINGO says it is hosted on a German high-performance cluster and encrypts sensitive data. The free plan allows unlimited participants and questions.
