Prepare a session (assistant)

The assistant Prepare session leads in four steps from your first own question to a running session: topic and questions, course (optional), playlist, start the session. It creates exactly what you will find later under Topics & Questions and Playlists. This guide shows every step.

  1. 1

    Step 1: name the topic

    Step 1 of 7

    The button Prepare session on the start page opens the assistant. The four steps are listed at the top. In the first step you give the topic a name — your questions always live in topics. If you already have topics of your own, choose one from the list or New topic. Next is only available once at least one question is written.

    Write the first question

    Step 2 of 7

    Write a question opens the question editor above the assistant. The default is multiple choice: title, question text, the options and a check mark at the correct answer are enough. Save creates the topic and the question inside it. All question types and settings of the editor are explained in the guide The question editor.

    Questions in the topic

    Step 3 of 7

    Back in the assistant, the saved questions are listed under Questions in this topic; a click opens a question in the editor again. Write another question adds the next one. As soon as one question exists, Next leads to the next step.

    Step 2: course (optional)

    Step 4 of 7

    If participants are to join with names, the session needs a course list: Yes, with names offers existing courses or creates a new one with New course — one person per line, and the list can be completed later. For a start, No, anonymous is enough: participants join without names, and LehrPuls still analyzes every question.

    Step 3: the playlist

    Step 5 of 7

    The playlist sets the course of the lesson. The assistant suggests the name of the topic and takes over all questions of the topic in this order; the arrows change the order, the eye shows a question as participants see it, and an unchecked box leaves a question out — it stays in the topic. Sections come later on the Playlists page. If the topic already has a playlist, the assistant keeps using it.

    Step 4: start the session

    Step 6 of 7

    The last step sums up: the playlist is ready, participants join anonymously, and LehrPuls has checked whether the devices come in over the internet or must be in the same network (Open connection in new window shows the Connection page). Start session begins the session; Test run starts it just the same, but nothing remains in the analytics when it ends. In expert mode, More start options offers the full start dialog of the playlist.

    The session is running

    Step 7 of 7

    The assistant closes, and LehrPuls switches to the live cockpit; the projector window shows the QR code for the participants. Your questions are on the left, the large main button shows the first one. How to go on from here is shown in the guide Running a session. Afterwards you will find your questions under Topics & Questions and the playlist under Playlists.
