Wooclap

Presenters can create events using a mixture of slides and a variety of question types. These events can then be presented to participants and their responses collected. Participants can take part on a desktop or mobile device using a web browser.

• Wooclap has a user friendly interface for creating and presenting events: 
• You can choose from three levels of participant access: anonymous; self-identified; logged in. 
• There is no need for students to create accounts to join and participate in an event. 
• Participants access a Wooclap event via a QR code or a customisable short URL. 
• There are 17 question types to choose from.
• Present your event from Wooclap with an uploaded presentation or embed your questions into a PowerPoint presentation.
• You can share events with colleagues or collaborate on a single event.

There is a LTI connector for Wooclap available in Learn. This can be used to sync scores or attendance in Wooclap events with the Learn Gradebook. Please see our SharePoint page for full details on how to use Wooclap with Learn.

Wooclap: Getting Started

Training

Three training sessions are ongoing and available for staff to book via People & Money.

Introduction to Wooclap (1.5 hour – offered monthly):

This session is aimed at novice users of voting systems and will give some background on using voting systems in general as well as Wooclap in particular. 

In-Class Polling for Student Interaction and Engagement (1 hour – offered monthly):

This session is aimed at any user of voting systems looking to develop their use beyond multiple choice questions and knowledge checking. It will include some techniques that can be used to encourage peer and class discussion.

Introduction to Wooclap (self-paced)

This course combines our two in-person sessions showing the functionality within Wooclap, making the most out of the question types and techniques that can be used to help engage participants within your events. It is aimed at all users of Wooclap and can be completed or referred back to in your own time.

If you would like to quickly get up to speed on creating and presenting events in Wooclap, we have a set of videos available on our SharePoint site: Wooclap Orientation Videos.

In addition, we are happy to arrange local in-person sessions for Schools, programmes, or courses. Let us know via IS Helpline if you would like to arrange a session locally.

Support 

We have created an initial set of support materials to get you started with Wooclap. These can be found on our SharePoint pages. These articles will be added to as use of Wooclap develops at the University.
