Quick Start

Start Voting

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.

Steps

1. Sign in to your ClassClicker account.
2. Click the Start Class icon on the Menu page.

3. The voting page is shown with an entry address in the header. Wait for the audience of your lecture to join your voting session by their smartphones, PCs or other devices through the address or the QR code. The number of current voters (the denominator of the vote total) indicated on the right side of the voting table will increase as they join.

4. Give the audience your quiz.
5. Your audience vote on an answer to your quiz. Voting results are shown in a chart in real-time.
