Whiteboard View

This article explains how to create a FREE TEXT or MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIZ on a class whiteboard or projector, using the WHITEBOARD feature. This feature is available to Gold and Platinum subscribers.

It also explains how Platinum users can use Whiteboard Quiz data to feed into a class's C-Scores .

1. Select WHITEBOARD view by selecting it on your Dashboard.

2. Name your Whiteboard Quiz.  This title will appear at the top of the page. 

3. Select a Question Bank (from those in your Dashboard) and then select a topic or topics from which to pick questions:

- Each line can be used to select a "bucket" of questions from one or more topics. To make it easier to compile, you can have multiple "buckets" of questions together in one Whiteboard Quiz.

- When selecting questions, if the 'QUESTIONS IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER'  toggle is activated, questions will be shown in the order in which they appear in the Question Bank, even if selected at random.

If the 'QUESTIONS IN SEQUENTIAL ORDER' toggle is not activated,  questions will be displayed in the order that they are selected from the Question Bank, or if you use the 'SELECT RANDOM' button the questions will be selected and displayed in a random order.

         

- You can select as many questions as you like, and you should be able to see up to 8 questions and answers on the screen at any one time (though you may need to adjust the zoom on your device depending on its resolution and size):

The cog icon at the top of the IMAGE column can be used to filter for questions with or without an image as required.  Selecting questions without images may allow multiple questions to be more easily displayed on the Whiteboard.  

4. When you have selected your questions, click SHOW NOW to view the Whiteboard Quiz.

- To make changes, simply click CHANGE SETTINGS to go back to the previous page.

- If the questions you are selecting from your Question Bank are multiple choice and you wish to enable the multiple choice answers, use the toggle at the top of the Whiteboard Quiz to reveal them.

5. Once you are finished with your Whiteboard Quiz, simply click one one of the buttons in the header bar to exit. Please note that you cannot return to a Whiteboard View quiz once you have clicked one of these options and left it:

Platinum users only: C-Scores data from Whiteboard Quizzes

For your Whiteboard Quiz to contribute to your class's C-Scores select the relevant class in the Whiteboard settings...

...and toggle the  'Show score slider' to green.

When marking the Whiteboard Quiz drag the slider along to reflect the proportion of students who have answered correctly. The scores are automatically submitted to the C-Score calculations.

Only the questions that have been assigned a score using the slider will be used in the C-Score calculations. If a score is not entered, or the slider is cancelled, it will not contribute to the C-Scores this time.

• You can print a whiteboard quiz if you can right-click and choose 'print'.
• Platinum users can view Whiteboard Quiz Usage Analytics in ANALYSIS.
