Quick questions and ExpressPoll

At any time during your lesson, you can ask your students a question and click on ExpressPoll . This displays the voting ‘Wonderwheel’.

Use it a few times and you will realize why it is so-called. The design of the Wonderwheel helps you communicate your question clearly, so your students quickly understand how they are expected to answer.

How it works

  1. You hover with the pen over the Wonderwheel and highlight a question style.

  2. Move the pen radially and outward to show the options for the style you just highlighted.

  3. Click to select one of the options.

The picture on the right shows the Wonderwheel for ActiVote devices. The highlighted question style is 'True/False'. This question style has four answering options. The option selected allows the possible answers, 'True', 'False' and 'Don’t know'.

These possible answers are shown in the displayed 'Voting Summary' Box.

You can set a timeout now, next to the red Stop Vote button, by entering a number or using the arrows. If your profile already has a timeout set for ExpressPoll, the countdown starts as soon as the summary box is displayed. When you use a timeout, you also have a Pause Vote button for extra control.
