Wooclap is a tool for polling students’ knowledge or opinions by asking them one or more questions, which they can answer using their phone, tablet or laptop. The answers received are displayed live and, if desired, made visible to the entire group. This makes it a tool for making lectures or presentations more interactive. Interactive teaching makes students more engaged and helps them remember the material better.

Wooclap can be used for various purposes. For example, for testing or activating students’ knowledge, asking students for their opinions about propositions or dilemmas, matching information (such as matching a concept to a meaning) or creating a wordcloud. The results can be displayed live via a whiteboard. Students can compare their own responses with the group, and as an instructor you gain insight into students’ level of knowledge and opinions. During the meeting or in a subsequent meeting you can elaborate on this.
