To select one or more answers as correct, click on the check box next to one of the answers. An answer that is marked as correct will have a blue check mark next to it shown above. To add one or more questions click on the plus symbol right below the last listed answer.

 

Step 2: Once you are satisfied with your question click on "Save":

Feel free to add as many questions as you want and as many different varieties as you please.

 

Step 3: Once you are satisfied with the number of questions you have, select "Start" on the first question you created:

Whichever "Start" you select doesn't matter, but it might just be easiest to start with the first question. All questions will appear/be answered.

 

Step 4: In order to share to your students, please scroll through the pages with the side arrows until you get to the last page:From there you can email your students the link to participate in the event, have it send them a SMS text, or they can scan the QR code.

 

Step 5: Once you have shared the link to your students, you must scroll back to the first question so they can participate. Once they have answered the first question, move on to the second, and so on and so forth. You can see their responses live.

 

Step 6: Once you are done with the event, go ahead and click "Exit" at the bottom and you will be taken back to your course page:

Step 6: Once you have all of the questions created and added to your presentation, click "Start" to start your slides and questions:

This will start your presentation and you can enter full screen here:

Note: The purpose of Wooclap is to be live and interactive. So before you start your presentation and enter full screen mode, we recommend that you start a live Zoom session with your class. With the Wooclap link, they will only see questions as they come up, they will not see the presentation. That's why we urge that you screenshare the presentation from Zoom so you can present the slides live, and when the question slides come up they can participate with those questions from the Wooclap link. If you need help setting up and starting with Zoom please click here for a quick video tutorial. Additionally, you can always create a ticket at our service catalog here or call us at (406)-496-4244.
