In addition, we have improved TEDME for you in numerous areas and constantly ensure that the software always remains up-to-date and reliable.
Accessibility
With accessible tools, you can make your events accessible to people with visual impairments. That is why we at TEDME have integrated numerous new functions that make this possible. Further improvements and enhancements will follow in the coming weeks.
In this article, we present in detail what you and your participants can already look forward to: TEDME - accessible interaction and voting tool.
New question types panelling and net promoter score
For even more targeted questions and analyses, we have integrated two new question types into TEDME.
Panache
You may need to use panache for some voting processes. This involves freely distributing a predetermined quota of votes among different options. For example, there are 15 candidates, while your participants have 10 votes, which they can distribute as they wish. This is how it can look in practice:
Net Promotor Score
The Net Promotor Score (NPS for short) is very popular in marketing and is a special value that results from participants' responses to a rating from 1 to 10. We have included this in the long-term surveys as well as in the live and spontaneous surveys.
With this question you can find out how high the proportion of your promoters, detractors and indifferents is. This is what the implementation of the Net Promoter Score with TEDME looks like:

Moderation view: Display of the number of active participants
You can now specify in the project settings -> Basic settings whether or not the number of participants should be displayed on the left-hand side in your sessions.
Co-moderation Extensions
We have also implemented improvements for you here so that your co-moderators can follow the voting better and you can organise and manage your Q&A sessions even more interestingly.
Live display of voting results
On the one hand, your co-moderator, who is responsible for the Q&A round, can now also follow the voting results live. Secondly, a moderator can now also see the live evaluation via the co-moderation view. This is always very useful if, for example, they do not have a clear view of the projector or do not have a mobile device to hand.
Q&A: Pinning of particularly interesting questions
Within the Q&A, co-moderators can now also "pin" particularly interesting questions to the top. The pinned question appears with a yellow border at the top of the Q&A section - both for the participants in the question list and for the moderator. This allows them to highlight the question currently being discussed, making it easier for all participants to see.
Transfer of chat contributions to the Q&A module
You can now also transfer chat contributions directly to the Q&A module. This is particularly helpful if you are running a chat as part of your event and want to transfer one or two interesting contributions to the Q&A session.
Chat: 1:1 conversations between participants
Now your participants can also exchange ideas privately in TEDME - in 1:1 text conversations.
Your participants can assign themselves a name for this purpose. Alternatively, you can do this for your participants and transfer the names from TEDME participant management via the integrated interface.
Your participant can view the participant list and start a 1:1 text conversation with another participant or with the co-moderator. They can then switch back to the general chat or return to the 1:1 text conversation at any time. Each participant can also delete their own posts.
Total export including all details for authenticated elections and votes
The analyses are also even more comprehensive:
Analyses and reports of complete authenticated events
For authenticated sessions, you can now download all results including all voting details in a single report with a single click. Under the out sessions tab in the analyses, you will now also find the button for this export behind the respective session.
Reports of several individual results in one PDF
In the individual analyses, it is now generally possible to mark several individual queries and generate an overall document using the Select PDF report button.
Webex Integration
Following the integration of Zoom last year, there is now also one for WebEx.
If you have created a presentation as a slide presentation - even if you do not have any slides - you can activate the "Webinar mode" in the TEDME settings for this presentation.
If you activate this, an input line appears below it. You can enter the URL of a Zoom meeting or now also a WebEx meeting in this line.
This is particularly advantageous for your participants. They only need to log in once - to your TEDME room. To enable Zoom or WebEx to display the participant's name within this session, these tools usually ask your participants for their name again. And your participants are already live in your meeting and in your surveys.
Extensions to the interfaces (API)
We have enhanced the interface for you with a number of new features. For example, participant images from third-party systems can also be displayed for use in the chat. PostMessages are also new. These are relevant for implementations in which several iFrames are integrated in parallel, but only one is visible at a time. You can find an example of this in the iFrame demo from TEDME.
This means that for your future events, the iFrame sends a PostMessage to the embedding page. This allows you to inform participants about new content in the non-visible iFrames.
You can find the bundled information on this at TEDME configurations.
Auth module for authenticated sessions included free of charge
The Auth module for your sessions is now also available free of charge. However, the free version is limited to sessions with up to ten people and a list of participants. This means that you can invite people to small events and hold authenticated sessions at no extra charge.
Outlook: What's next?
You can also look forward to these extensions:
TEDME-Auth: Display of majorities
You can soon look forward to calculated displays of absolute, relative or conditional majorities in the live display as well as their display in the overall report.
TEDME-Auth: Display of voting behaviour of participants in non-secret votes
We are also planning this for you: an optional display in the live display, which can show who voted for what in the case of non-secret votes.
