How do I create a Word Cloud?

Find out what your participants think or how they feel in real time.

The participants can send words that will be displayed in the form of a word cloud in real time on the broadcasting screen. The more a word is repeated or the more “likes” it gets, the bigger it will appear on the screen.

If you are not familiar with the Word Cloud, you can find its description here.

 

Adding a Word Cloud in the Studio

1. Click on New Activity

Create a new scenario or choose an existing one, click on New Activity and choose the Word Cloud.

2. A pop-up window will appear

3. Give the activity a name

Enter the subject/project/question in the "Name" field.

Example: Describe what you think of this event in one word

4. Enter a description

This is a useful option only if you wish to share this activity with your facilitators' team to help them understand it.

5. Anonymous mode

Choose whether the participants' publications will be anonymous or not. 
If you choose the anonymous mode, even the facilitator won't know the author of a word.

6. Moderation mode

If you choose the moderation mode, the participants' words will first have to be approved by the facilitator before appearing on the screen.

If the moderation mode is off, the participants' words will be automatically approved and shown on the screen. 

In both cases, the facilitator can always hide inappropriate publications at any time.

7. Confirm the creation of the activity

The activity will be available in your Library or directly in your scenario and you will be able to launch it during your session.
