What Presentria is
Presentria Basic is a class response system for educators creating interactive polls and quizzes. Its product page lists 10 question types, including multiple choice, short answer, Likert scale, chemistry, file upload, and list, along with word clouds. Responses appear in real time on student mobile handsets and the instructor's projector screen. Students can join from a browser using a QR code or session code without installing an app; the class response page says it supports lectures with thousands of participants.
Instructors author questions in an online WYSIWYG editor that supports YouTube videos and LaTeX, with no programming required. Course question banks can be shared with other professors using a unique code. The product describes student performance reports, PDF or CSV downloads, and automatic grading for multiple-choice questions. Presentria Basic is free for non-commercial use, and a one-month trial offers AI-powered class response, gamification, Presentria GO, and advanced reporting. After the trial, the free plan has limited class response usage, no reporting, and no Presentria GO access. Students' personal information is stated to be used only for institutionally or individually authorized purposes, not sold or used for behavioral ad targeting.
