How does Wooclap work?

Wooclap is an Audience Response Tool. The audience responds via their smartphone or laptop to the presented statements or questions.

You can show the results directly on your presentation screen.

The tool can be used both in the lecture room and online.

  • Via wooclap.uva.nl log in with your UvAnetID. If necessary, agree to the terms and conditions.
  • At the top right, you can set a different language.
  • Create a new event.

    Questions asked to the audience in Wooclap are called interactions. There are different question types you can add to the event. Go to the Wooclap website to read more about the different question types.

    • Click 'New question' to add a new question to your event.

    • Save the question by clicking 'Save' at the bottom right.
  • Presenting questions
    • Each event has a unique code that participants must enter to participate. This code is created automatically and can be found at the top right of the screen behind 'Participate at'. Want to create your own code? Then modify the code by clicking on the pencil icon.
    • Each event has a 'How to participate' slide. This shows how your audience can participate in the event. Click on 'Display' to show the slide.
    • Once everyone has filled in the code, you can go through the rest of the slides. On the right-hand side of the screen, click the right arrow to go to the next slide. You can go back to the previous slide with the left arrow
    • Your audience answers the question on their own device (phone or laptop).
    • Depending on your Event settings, responses may or may not be displayed directly on the presentation screen. To display (or hide) responses to the question, click the 'results' button on the left-hand side of the screen. To display the correct answer (if applicable), click on the 'Correct answer' button (check mark on the left-hand side of the screen)

    • Click 'Save' at the bottom to save the presentation with the inserted questions.
    • Start your presentation by clicking 'Start' on the right.
  • PowerPoint add-in of Wooclap

    The Wooclap add-in allows you to put Wooclap questions directly into PowerPoint. You can only use this add-in with the UvA-MS-365 licence [link].

    Keep the following in mind:

    • The add-in is somewhat more complicated and has less functionality than the web application.
    • You will need the add-in in any case if you want to show animations in PowerPoint.
    • The add-in is linked to your personal MS365 profile. As a result, it cannot be pre-installed on computers in teaching rooms. Preferably use the laptop on which the presentation was created. And otherwise test beforehand whether Wooclap is installed on the other computer and works properly in combination with your PowerPoint file and MS365 profile.

    To install the add-in, follow these steps

    • Open PowerPoint and go to the 'Start' tab.
    • Click on the 'Add-ins / View All' button. You will now be taken to the 'Office Add-ons' screen. If you do not have access to this, contact the ICT Services Service Desk on 020 525 1402 or servicedesk-icts@uva.nl.
    • Click on 'Managed by administrators' at the top. You should see Wooclap as one of the applications you can add.
    • Click on Wooclap and then click the 'Add / Add' button at the bottom. You will need to activate Wooclap once in PowerPoint.
    • Follow the steps in the blue screen. You log in with your UvAnetID. For this you can use the 'Log in via an institution', searching for 'Universiteit van Amsterdam' in the list.
    • You can now access the questions you have created in Wooclap via the web environment.

    Insert questions into your presentation

    Now you can insert the questions you created beforehand via wooclap.uva.nl into your PowerPoint presentation. This works as follows:

    • Add a blank slide to your existing PowerPoint presentation at the place where you want the interaction via Wooclap.
    • Again, go via 'Add-Ins / View All' to 'Managed by Administrator' and click on Add Wooclap.
    • Choose the event from which you want to use the questions. Do not use questions from two different events in the same presentation, and only use each question once.
    • Add the How to participate? slide first, so participants know how to participate.
    • For each question, create a new blank slide and add Wooclap's insert there each time.
    • After all your questions have been added to the presentation, you can start the PowerPoint presentation as usual
    • When you arrive at the first Wooclap slide, you will see a Play button to activate the session. Click it to start the interactive session.
  • Additional options

    You can get much more out of Wooclap for your presentation:

    • Moderator: with the moderator function, you as presenter determine which reactions do and do not appear on the screen. You can also control the presentation from a second screen (e.g. on your smartphone). Find out how it works here.
    • Messages: via the Message Wall, participants can submit comments or questions during the presentation. Enable this function via the Messages tab.
    • Contest mode: add a game element to your presentation by letting your audience participate in a contest. You enable this function via Settings. Choose the option 'User name participants' so that participants can compete under a nickname of their choice.
    • Reuse an event: if you don't want to keep the results of the previous session, you can reset and restart the session. If you do want to keep the results of the previous session, duplicate the event.
  • Viewing and exporting results

    After your Wooclap presentation, you can view the answers to the questions via the event settings:

    • Click the 'Report' button to view the results in your internet browser. You can see the questions and their responses in the 'Questions' tab.
    • If you want to download the results, click 'Save as PDF', or 'Export to Excel'.

In Wooclap, click on the question mark at the bottom right. Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions. For more information, visit the Wooclap Help Centre.

Privacy

Participants' answers are stored online on Wooclap's servers. The UvA has entered into a processing agreement with the supplier for this purpose. Never ask your audience to share sensitive personal data and, if possible, allow participants to participate in the session anonymously.

Log in with UvAnetID

If you ask students to log in, have them do so by entering their UvA e-mail address on the log in page (so they log in with their UvAnetID).

Delete results

If you no longer need the results or if your participants have entered (too) personal information, delete these results after the session.
