Student guide

Your instructor shows a 4-digit code on the projected screen. You need it to join, and it only works while the class is running.

Open the Join a class page, type the code, and press Continue. If the code is wrong you'll be told right away.

Then choose how your answers are labelled:

• Enter your name — it appears next to each answer you post.
• Or tick Join anonymously to show up as User1, User2, and so on, in the order people joined.

You only ever see the one question your instructor currently has on screen.

• Open-ended — type your answer and press Send answer. You can send more than one thought.
• Multiple choice — pick one option (round buttons) or several (square boxes), then press Send answer. You can change your choice and send again while the question is still live.

Responses appear live as everyone answers. Use the tabs to switch views — an answers feed or a word cloud for open questions, a bar or pie chart for multiple choice.

The instructor decides which question is live, so your screen moves on its own when they advance. If you see “Waiting for your instructor to start a question”, nothing is live yet — sit tight. If an answer doesn't go through, the question has probably just changed; check the prompt at the top and try again.
