||
===Goals=== |
|||
The Poll activity is based on [http://www.mamamedia.com/activities/poll/home.html MaMaMedia.com's Kids Say Poll]. However, instead of a web application it is to run on the XO assuming no Internet access, and take advantage of the mesh sharing features. |
|||
Children should be able to: |
|||
* View a poll created previously |
|||
* Create a new poll with a title, a question and five answer choices |
|||
* Vote in the poll |
|||
:* The intention is that when the activity is shared over the mesh, each child's vote is counted only once, tracking some '''anonymous''' unique identifier for each XO against that vote. |
|||
:* However as a prototype, before sharing is implemented, the activity will allow voting multiple times in the same poll, to demonstrate the concept. |
|||
* View the running total showing the total number of votes cast as well as a bar graph showing votes for each choice. |
|||
* Function to close the poll to new votes |
|||
* Function to reset the poll data back to zero votes (for testing purposes) |
|||
* Storage in the Data Store to be accessible via the Journal. |
|||
:* For sharing purposes, each vote should be stored, anonymously yet such that an XO cannot cast two votes. |
|||
:* The vote database gets shared across the mesh, and votes on other XOs are merged back onto the XO that created the poll. |
|||
===Collaboration=== |
|||
* Kids can access and vote in one another's locally saved polls from their own XOs. |
|||
* Polls can be shared over the mesh multiple times (e.g. X can share it with Y who can share it with Z.) |
|||
* Data from remote votes will be merged back to one location (poll author's XO or the School Server) for tracking totals accurately. |
|||
* This requires including the author's XO ID in the shared data. Other XOs will update back to this machine where possible. |

Summary
The Poll activity is a simple poll tool that allows children to express their opinions on a given topic by selecting one of five answer choices and submitting a vote. The results are tallied by total number of votes and percentage of total votes cast for each choice - like the usual web polls.
