Using the Question and Answer module

Once a Question and Answer session has begun, you will be able to see who has responded and mark Student answers by selecting the tick or cross on the Student's thumbnail. Awards can be given for a correct answer and deducted for an incorrect answer. You can configure these options in the Question and Answer options dialog. Students can see their current awards in the Question and Answer dialog.

Note: Rewards can be allocated/deducted outside of a Question and Answer session; select Rewards in the toolbar.

Questions can be bounced around the class, encouraging discussion. You can also ask Students to peer assess an answer to find out if they thought it was correct or not.

You can move on to the next round by selecting the Forward icon.

Excluding Students

To ensure all Students are involved equally in the process, you can choose to exclude specific students (i.e. those who have already answered a question) from the next round of questioning.

Students are automatically excluded from a round if either of the Exclude options in the Question and Answer options dialog has been selected.

Sound effects

You can include sound effects to be played at the Tutor and Students. Sounds will be played at the Tutor when a Student answers, at the Student when the Answer dialog is displayed and at both when randomly selecting a Student and when the thinking time or time limit is at 5 and 2.5 seconds. Sounds effects will be turned on by default.

  1. Select the Options icon on the toolbar.

  2. Select the relevant option to turn sound effects on/off at the Tutor or Student.

  3. Use the slider bar to adjust the volume.
