Allow participants to choose from a number of options provided by the
presenter in order to feedback on a particular slide (eg. yes/no or A, B,
C, D, E).

I agree. This'd be incredibly useful.

Seconded!

We've been moving the BigBlueButton client towards modularity and this
could certainly be a new module with options, such as:

http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/ClientConfiguration

It would be helpful if you could provide a more specific use case
scenario. A few questions ... how would you like

1) to setup the questions: (a) in an external application that passes the
questions into the meeting using the API, or (b) from within BigBlueButton
itself.

2) How would they answers be displayed? Only to the presenter, or to
everyone else (when the presenter wishes)?

3) What happens to the pool after it's done? It would be recorded as part
of the session, but is there any need to export the results?

1) Use it from within BigBlueButton itself, primarily for on-the-fly quiz
questions or getting the feel of the meeting. (There is another use case
which would be the online equivalent of using "clickers" where the quizes
were authored into the slides in the presentation perhaps using some kind
of PowerPoint plugin but this seems much more involved, and wasn't what I
was actually thinking of).
2) It would be important that results *could* be displayed to everyone in
the room, but it should not be revealed without an intervention from the
presenter (displaying results whilst voting is taking place could influence
the outcome).
3) Recording as part of the session is important. Since the actual
question could arise either out of a slide *or* from a question posed
verbally, exported results might not be meanintful (except in the
alternative use-case I described in (1) in parentheses).

[1] I'd say from within BigBlueButton itself.

[2] Answers displayed as a bar chart and numerically [percentages as well
as actual numbers]. Much like how TurningPoint EVS slides are displayed.
There's an example of what I have in mind at: http://drgn.in/gqmyF7

[3] No need to export results in the first instance. Such polls are often
quite transient, and often don't need to be followed up. But exporting data
as a .csv file might be useful.

For [2] I like the image of how it's displayed.

We are interested to explore whether this module is something that an
existing University to support for inclusion into BigBlueButton. To see
how features get into BigBlueButton,

http://code.google.com/p/bigbluebutton/wiki/FAQ#When_will_feature_X_be_implemented?

BigBlueButton is open source ... and we know that this feature is something
that's of importance to our educational market.

There was a good discussion on the polling module in this thread

http://groups.google.com/group/bigbluebutton-dev/browse_thread/thread/61a51f98ae5e8194

Attached is a draft design from that discussion.

An in-App yes/no feedback will be usefull for quick questions like asking
if the participants can ear the presenter or not.
It can be displayed by a green/red color in the aera for the hand-up beside
username.
And the presenter will be able to reset the answers.

We've updated the design of polling for the next release of BigBlueButton.
