Question 1

Timer for quiz questions

Accepted Answer

In LessonUp you can use a timer during a quiz (question). The timer limits the time students can answer and automatically closes the question after the timer ends.

There is no need to use component 'Timer' to set a timer. The timer for quiz questions can be found under the button with the clock.

You can set the length of the timer. Here you can choose from a number of times.

The timer can be turned on and adjusted separately for each quiz question. This of course depends entirely on the difficulty of the quiz question. Usually, for a question where both the question and the answers have to be read, a time of 30 seconds is pleasant for the students.

The timer is currently only available for quiz questions, and not yet for the other interactive components in LessonUp.

Question 2

You can use these lessons immediately or adapt them first and share them with your students. If you use LessonUp regularly, and your students have experience with this way of teaching, it is sometimes enough to give them an instruction and they can work independently. A shared lesson can be given to the students via My Classes or by sharing a link. **Making use of new lessons ** Teaching from home requires a different approach to the concept of education. Perhaps you are used to giving (a lot of) instructions in the classroom. That is not a problem, the question is: how do you solve it? One possibility is to provide a shared lesson in LessonUp with a spoken instruction. In this way you talk the students through the material. Big advantage: the students can listen back to this instruction at any time. A shared home-based lesson should have a head and a tail so that the students understand what the learning objective is and what is expected of them.

Q: How to use the Spinner

The Spinner in LessonUp is primarily intended as a name-picker. The students' names appear automatically in the Spinner during a lesson after entering the PIN code. However, instead of students' names you can also place terms in the Spinner. This creates fun work-shapes for both synchronous as shared lessons. To activate terms in the Spinner, first add a spinner using the +Component button, and then Spinner. <img src="https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/9a6f080f90f9b000/schermafbeelding-2020-11-06-om_jta521.png" alt="" /> Double-click on the Spinner or on the settings button to go to the settings. Put a check mark in front of Use terms instead of student names. You can now enter the terms/phrases separated by a comma. The Spinner can be used in class or at home. Of course you can also use this option to fix the names of the students if you do not want to or cannot use devices in the classroom. Another option is to use the Spinner to show the answers to a question. The students have to come up with the question themselves.

Question 6

Which license suits me best?

Accepted Answer

That depends on what you need. If you only want to create interactive lessons, then the free basic licence is all you need. If you also want to share the lessons with your students and receive reports on them, we recommend the PRO licence. The school licence is interesting if you work with more colleagues within your school with LessonUp. This makes it very easy for you to collaborate and get your own school portal.
