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.

Q: What are the possibilities to teach online with LessonUp?

<h1 id="asynchronous">Asynchronous</h1> Making use of existing lessons There are more than 380.000 lessons in the library of LessonUp. 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. A shared lesson can be given to students via My Classes or by sharing a link. To record a video of your lesson You can teach a lesson on your computer and record it. This technique is called screen casting and is widely used on YouTube. You make a recording of the screen and your voice, where you click through the lesson. A nice environment to make such a recording is Loom.com. <h1 id="livesynchronous">Live (synchronous)</h1> **Teach a

Question 4

How do I save my lesson?

Accepted Answer

When a lesson is created, it is saved directly and automatically in your LessonUp environment. Any changes to your Lesson will also be saved immediately. Lessons are only saved with a stable internet connection.

Question 5

Can I use LessonUp offline/download a lesson?

Accepted Answer

Partly because of the interactivity it is not possible to use and/or download LessonUp lessons offline. However, it is possible to print out a handout and/or make screenshots.

The best way to share lessons is to use the student environment via lessonup.app or the LessonUp App (iOS/Android). Interactivity remains possible in this way, and progress can also be consulted via reports.

|| In order to be able to share lessons, you need a Teacher or School licence.

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.
