2 - Preparing for Class > Creating a Question List

Question List Overview

Creating a question list allows you to customize the settings for each individual clicker question ahead of class. For example, you may have a presentation that you plan to use in your class and would like to assign a correct answer to each of the i>clicker questions in the presentation. You can create a question list that corresponds with your presentation so that when you ask the clicker questions in class the results are automatically graded and displayed in your results chart.

In addition to assigning correct answers, you can use question lists to set question-specific settings such as question titles, results chart labels, points for each answer choice, and more. In the example below, a question list was used to create a question title and results chart labels for the question "What is the capital of Ohio"?

When questions lists are used in class each question that you created appears beneath the toolbar. You may display the questions in order or use the drop-down menu to select each question (see Load Question List).
