In their own words
ARSnova
ARSnova provides live quizzes, numeric estimation questions, Q&A, word-cloud analysis, and Pulse Check feedback for education and organizations. Sessions can include up to 500 participants. Hosts can start without an account, and participants join with a code or QR without signing up. Question types include short answers, estimates, matching, ordering, categorization, multiple choice, and ratings. The Q&A wall supports moderation before posting, pinning, archiving, voting, and sorting by support, quality, or controversy. Hosts can create quizzes and run sessions on a phone, with an option to pair a second device for presenting. After a session, results are available in a PDF report, and tabular data can be exported as CSV. Quiz content remains on the host’s device while live sessions process data needed for interaction. The open-source platform is licensed under MIT and can be self-hosted with Docker, PostgreSQL, and Redis. The site states WCAG 2.2 Level AA conformance and PDF/UA-1 validation for its results report. Matching, ordering, and categorization questions do not award partial credit.
