Tricider

Principal function(s): Poll and survey creatorsGroup/pair work - classmatesWhole classWritingTeacherStudentYou SupplyWebsite/other users supply

Tricider is a privacy-friendly brainstorming and decision-making tool that allows users to collaborate on ideas and gather feedback from a group. Users can pose questions or topics, while others can contribute ideas, comments, and votes. Tricider is completely free and does not require having an account for use, although logging in provides additional functionalities. It was developed by Nicolas Graf von Kanitz and Stephan Eyl at Tricider GmbH, a software company based in Germany. Evaluation: Tricider is a practical and easy-to-use tool. Within seconds, users can get an invitation to a Tricider and input their opinion. This can be useful for brainstorming sessions, decision-making processes, and group discussions. A downside is that anyone with the link to a Tricider can participate. Tricider is also privacy-friendly; see more on that below.

Cost: Free without registration.

Usability

Interface User-friendliness/complexity of the tool´s interface

Straightforward, easy to use.

Time efficiency Time needed for mastering the „how-to“ of the tool and a production of a task

High.

Interface language(s) The number of languages in which the tool is currently available/adaptable to

English, German, Spanish.

Respect for privacy Does the tool require registration? Who can see my data? Can I remain anonymous?

Very high. Tricider can be used without signing up or logging in, so it does not gather any personal data. For visitors who create an account, Tricider collects their name and email address. It also collects answers, time of replies, location data and IP address but only for operational purposes, and thus not for marketing or advertising. Tricider complies with the GDPR. See more here.

Saving work for future use Possiblity to save your or others´ work for reuse/reproduction

Yes; users can access a Tricider repeatedly with its URL, usually for 14 days, a time period that can be modified.

Tailorability (If so, how?) Possibility of the tool to be used for a range of different activities (e.g. to what extent you can organize a project assignment with a central activity based on this tool)

Not much; Tricider has its own interface which cannot be tweaked much except for the information you provide, but it can be used for different purposes.
