Playlists

Under Playlists all playlists are listed in a table. A click on a row shows its tree with sections and questions below; select a question, and the preview on the right shows what it looks like. You start a new playlist with New playlist.

The toolbar above the tree: New section, Add questions from the question pool, New question here (creates a question and inserts it right away), Form a question block from several selected questions, More actions (three dots: among others peer instruction, planned time, copying) and Start. In between are rename, remove and a short guide.

Select in the tree where the section should go (the playlist itself, a section or a question — then it is created right after it) and click New section. Sections structure the playlist by chapters or dates; they can be moved, indented and skipped.

Add questions opens the question pool: the topics on the left, their questions to check on the right. Add appends the checked questions to the selected section; Include entire topic brings in a whole topic with its subtopics. The same question may appear in several playlists — it is always edited in the question pool.

Several questions of a section can be combined into a question block: click the first question, add more with Cmd-click or Ctrl-click, then Group selection into a question block. A block appears on the devices as a whole — participants work through its questions at their own pace, for example on a shared case study. The task description is shown above it.

This is what a finished question block looks like, here in the sample playlist “Presenting all question types”. The symbol ⧉ Block marks a question block: in the session, all its questions are opened together and closed together; participants work on them in any order. The outlined label next to it names the scenario — the shared starting situation that appears, together with the task description, as a preamble before the questions. Hover over it and a tooltip shows the text; you change it in the menu ⋮ → Question block & preamble.

For a peer instruction question, select a multiple-choice question and choose Turn on peer instruction in the More actions menu. In the session, the first vote is followed by a discussion with the neighbors and a second round; the reveal compares both.

11Peer instruction

1. Peer instruction

A red ↻2 after the question type marks peer instruction. In the session the question runs in two rounds with a discussion in between; for that, the projector shows the discussion prompt by itself (top right picture). After the reveal, the projector compares both rounds — each bar shows the share from round 1 and round 2. The guide Session tools shows the flow in the session.

The note button at the end of each row opens Planned time and note: the planned time goes into the time planning of the playlist, the note is seen only by you — in the tree, in the live session and when printing. After a session, Use the time taken takes over the time actually used.

The Duplicate button in the table creates a copy — with all sections, questions, blocks, categories and notes, but without progress. That way the next semester starts with the proven plan.
