Hi Margaret,
Really good suggestions so far from the community. I hope you don't mind me adding another little tool I discovered and started using this semester. It is called socrative, see http://socrative.com/
Very versatile. I have used the free socrative apps (teacher and student version), available for IOS and Android smart devices, on our PGCAP but also during events and hear now that many of my students are using it with their students in a variety of ways. You can prepare quizzes (also ask students to) or you can ask a question to respond without having to prepare anything in advance. All they need is the student version of the app on their device and enter the room number you give them. Having both version is of value for the students as well as they will be able to create their own quizzes too. I think that this app can be an alternative for clickers which can be used in- and out-of the classroom as long as their is internet access. Good for group activities if not everybody has a smart device. A web-based version is also available.
I hope this is useful.
Best wishes,
Chrissi

Subject: Online suggestion box tool
Hello
Is there anyone who has experience in the use of online suggestion box
software or systems? I would be grateful for relevant suggestions
(without the box for now) for using this sort of tool to elicit feedback
from students. For example, has anyone used free-ware which they can
recommend in this context?
Best wishes
Margaret
