Options to share your event with students

When you click Start event in the top right, Wooclap opens the full presentation, beginning with a join screen that has everything students need. (To show just one question or the join instructions, click Display next to it in your question list.)

Students can join in any of these ways:

How students join

What they do

QR code

Scan the code on the screen with their phone camera.

Event code

Go to wooclap.com and type the event code.

Link

Click a link you post in Canvas, Zoom chat, or email (wooclap.com/ + your event code).

Text message (SMS)

Text the event code to the phone number on the screen. No internet or smartphone needed. For ungraded activities only.


To post the code, link, or QR code before class, click Share event in the top right and copy what you need.

For more on joining: How to present an event and participate in it (Wooclap Document)

Make your event code easy to remember. Wooclap assigns a random code, but you can change it to something like BIOL1610: click the pencil icon next to the event code at the top of your event. Codes must be unique across Wooclap, so a common word may already be taken.

Turning on text-message answers: SMS is off by default, and it works for live sessions only, not self-paced questionnaires. Texted answers can't be linked to a student's Canvas account, so they don't count toward Canvas grades. Use text messages for ungraded activities, such as word clouds or quick polls. 

For More SMS Details see: How does SMS/text message participation work? (Wooclap Document)

If your event is linked to Canvas: students must join in a web browser through Canvas. When they scan the QR code or enter the event code, Wooclap sends them to Canvas to log in first. Texted answers won't sync to the Gradebook.

Show students what to expect: USU has a student guide, Participating in a Wooclap Event in Class, you can link in Canvas.

Events Linked with Canvas

If an event is linked with an assignment in Canvas, Wooclap will require students to access the event through Canvas. When a student scans the QR code or uses the event code, Wooclap will direct them to Canvas to login and access the event.
