Resources
Practical guidance for interactive sessions, and a look at how a real session runs from preparation to review.
The presenter’s playbook
Practical advice from running live sessions, useful whatever tool you present with.
People join while you set up, so you start on time with the room already connected.
An easy opening poll sets the expectation that this session is two-way.
Let the room see the spread of answers, talk it through, then reveal the correct one.
Tell the room when you will check questions, so they keep sending them instead of waiting.
Short, single-concept questions give cleaner results and are faster to answer on a phone.
Use the difficulty breakdown to open your next session with the concept that did not land.
A session, start to finish
One lecturer, one deck, one room. Here is the whole session, from the night before to the review afterwards.
The night before · Prepare
Export the week’s slides to PDF, upload them, and attach a multiple-choice check after the key concept and a rating question at the end.
8:58 · Arrive
Start the session. The projector shows the join link, a QR code and the six-character code while students settle in.
9:00 · Join
Students scan or type the code on their phones and laptops. The participant count ticks up on your screen.
9:12 · Teach
Circle the part that matters. The ink appears on every device, and students in the back zoom in to read the labels.
9:25 · Check
Results chart live as votes arrive. Reveal the correct answer, then address the most common wrong one.
9:48 · Listen
Open the Q&A panel and answer the questions students sent during the lecture.
After class · Review
The results page shows a leaderboard for graded questions and which ones the room found hardest.
