This quick start will help you successfully start ClassClicker voting in which your audience can vote on an answer to your quiz and see the results displayed in a chart in real-time.
The Steps below show an example of simple ClassClicker usage which does not include creating a quiz within the ClassClicker system, but rather using some external quiz material. Before following the steps below, you need to prepare a multiple choice quiz to deliver on some material such as a handout, textbook, PowerPoint slide, or writing on the whiteboard. Additionally, you can connect your PC to a projector or other display device so that the audience of your lecture can see the voting progress on a large screen.
There are several buttons and options on the right side of the voting page. You can use these buttons and options to control the voting process and to change the style of the chart dynamically during the voting.
When you are ready to finish accepting the votes on the quiz, click the Next button to clear the chart and open the vote on the next quiz. The audience will be able to vote again.
If you want to go back to the previous vote chart, click the '<' button. The previous vote is shown as a closed vote.
If you want to reopen a closed vote, click the Reopen button.
If you want to redo a vote without saving the current voting results, click the Clear button to clear the chart and start voting on the quiz again. The audience who had previously voted on an answer to the quiz will be able to vote again.
Select a chart type from among 9 options: Column chart, Pie chart, 3D Pie chart, Bar chart, Donut chart, Line chart, Area chart, Curve chart, or Scatter chart.
Select the number of multiple choice options you would like to display from 2 to 20, or select Yes/No, True/False, Agree/Disagree, Positive/Negative, Yes/No/Maybe, True/False/Uncertain, Agree/Disagree/Neutral, Positive/Negative/Neutral, Free Number (Numeric input), Free Word (Text input) or Custom Buttons.

Note: When the Hide chart checkbox is unchecked, the icon in the chart category menu is color-coded based on the percentage of voters who selected Got it!. If the percentage is 66.66% or higher, the icon appears in green. If it is between 33.33% and 66.66%, the icon appears in orange. When the percentage is below 33.33%, the icon is displayed in its default color.
Click the complete class icon to complete your ClassClicker class and close the voting session. All the voters are disconnected from the class and the voting data is saved as the results.
Note: ClassClicker is designed for use in a lecture. Since most lectures typically last around 1 or 2 hours, we recommend completing the class manually at the end of the lecture. If a class is not completed, it will remain open for up to 8 hours, during which voters may continue to submit votes after the lecture has ended, potentially affecting the saved results.
