Wooclap
Audience-response and feedback mechanisms play a significant role in teaching. Communication between instructors and students enables students to actively participate in and contribute to courses. At the same time, instructors can adapt their teaching to the students’ current knowledge level and respond to questions in real time.
Wooclap is being provided as part of the Co³Learn consortium project at the Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Leibniz Universität Hannover, and Technische Universität Braunschweig for a trial phase until December 31, 2025. You can log in using your university credentials via this link and use Wooclap directly.
What is Wooclap and how can I use it?
Wooclap is an audience-response tool that allows instructors to use pre-created surveys with an expanded range of question types to interact with students during a course and assess their knowledge. Features such as brainstorming, whiteboard, and script concordance tests enable innovative uses of this survey software.
Participants can be invited via QR code or SMS to take part in surveys. Additionally, presentations can be integrated, allowing for flexible switching between survey and content.
Possible Use Cases
Collecting mood feedback:
Use the bulletin board feature in Wooclap to gather asynchronous and anonymous feedback from students. Students can upvote messages on the board, helping you identify topics that require further attention or repetition.
Brainstorming:
The brainstorming question type can be used in versatile and interactive ways. Students can suggest points related to topics pre-defined by the instructor. In a second step, responses can be rearranged and additional topics added. Beyond idea collection, this feature can also be used to form groups—students can join a group, and the grouping can be adjusted collaboratively if needed.
Deepening learning content:
Surveys can also be made available over an extended period online, giving students the opportunity to prepare asynchronously for upcoming learning content. You can assess prior knowledge before a session and, based on the results, decide which topics to review or deepen. This approach takes into account the individual learning pace of each student.
