Interactive question slides
Interactive question/activity slides can be used to assess a students understanding or to draw focus to a particular concept. A variety of question types can be added to an existing PowerPoint presentation (created and uploaded into Lecturecast) or new slides can be created from within the Lecturecast system. They can be included for students to access in their own time, or in a ‘live’ session. If you plan to use them, make sure you let your students know what is expected and give clear guidance.
To add interactive question slides:
- Log into the Moodle course, open or create a Lecturecast activity.
- Interactive slides can be included alongside an existing recording within a class or alternatively, you can create a new ‘Class'(see screenshot below). Click on the blue + icon to create or upload a presentation. Note each Lecturecast ‘Class’ can contain one recording and one presentation.
