Pingo allows users to interact with audiences via live polls. Anyone using a device with a wireless connection takes part in a poll, and no log-in is required.

It was developed by the University of Paderborn. Evaluation: A nice, easy and free tool to create quizzes or surveys. The tool’s interface is very user-friendly, both for the creator and other participants. Also, there is no need for participants to sign up in order to partake.
