What is Wooclap?

Wooclap is a real-time question and answer system that lets you interact with your audience via computer, tablet or smartphone. It offers some twenty tools for creating questionnaires of various kinds, such as MCQs, open-ended questions, polls, matching exercises, fill-in-the-blank texts, word clouds and more.

Developed by Sébastien Lebbe and Jonathan Alzetta, in just a few years the application has grown so rapidly that it is now used by tens of thousands of teachers in a multitude of countries.

How does it work?

In the following tutorial, Johann Nallet explains how to create an interactive presentation by integrating questions, using the variety of tools offered by the application. He also shows us a quick simulation of a presentation, including the results. And finally, he shows us how to create an asynchronous Wooclap, enabling each student to work at his or her own pace and possibly remotely.


➕ In addition, I'm sharing a link to an article by Marco Bertolini for his Formation 3.0 site, which does a great job of explaining the recent release of four notable new features within Wooclap.

How can I use it?

[Guide] - Pedagogical and technical uses of Wooclap

TheUniversité de Lorraine has launched the FOrmation des Enseignants à l'Hybridation et au Numérique (FOEHN) project, one of the main thrusts of which is to promote interactivity by deploying the Wooclap tool.

In this context, the Délégation d'Accompagnement à la Créativité, l'Ingénierie et la Pédagogie(DACIP) collaborated with the Centre de REcherche sur les Médiations (CREM) to measure the gap between the pedagogical intentions of teachers using Wooclap and students' perceptions of the tool's use. Based on the data collected, the DACIP worked with the Sous-Direction des Usages du Numérique (SDUN) to draw up a guide qualifying the pedagogical and technical uses of Wooclap.

💡 You can find countless resources (publications, testimonials, webinars,...) on topics related to education and neuroscience by visiting the Wooclap Blog.

What's the difference between Wooclap and Wooflash? 🐘

Wooflash and Wooclap are two distinct platforms developed by the Wooclap company, each intervening at different points in the learning process:

  • Wooclap is a tool used in real time(synchronous) to generate interaction during courses, conferences or training. It offers a dynamic experience, encouraging learner participation and stimulating engagement.

  • Wooflash, on the other hand, is a tool used asynchronously, enabling learners to practice and revise concepts learned synchronously. By offering complementary functionalities, Wooflash enables teachers to monitor their students' progress remotely and carry out assessments.

These two platforms, although distinct in their use, complement each other perfectly, offering solutions adapted to the different stages of learning, whether for real-time interaction with Wooclap, or for reinforcing knowledge and tracking progress with Wooflash.

You cannot connect to your Wooflash account via your Wooclap login and vice versa. You need to create an account on each platform.

💡 You can find, among others, various feedbacks and articles dealing with pedagogy on the blog dedicated to Wooflash.

🎬 In the following short video, Audrey Trentin, ex-Marketing Officer for Wooflash, explains how it works.


Quiz creation boosted by AI with Quiz Wizard 🧙‍♂️

Quiz Wizard is an innovative solution based on advances in artificial intelligence. This platform provides teachers with an invaluable tool for creating quizzes and visual support cards. Indeed, with just a few clicks, they can obtain relevant and original questions, adapted to each given theme or medium, without requiring hours of prior thought.

💡 You can find various feedbacks from using Quiz Wizard in the "Testimonials " section (top right) of the home page.

🎬 In the following video tutorial, Keivan Farzaneh, technopedagogical advisor at Collège Sainte-Anne, takes us through the features of Quiz Wizard.


My opinion of Wooclap's potential

In the end, Wooclap proves to be much more than a simple interactive tool. In particular, it stands out for its ability to energize and engage learners. What's more, its complementarity with Wooflash lends real pedagogical added value to the whole, positioning both platforms as a veritable toolbox that supports teachers in their mission to coach and reinforce their students' skills.
