Preparing for Class- Creating Interactive Questions using

LiveClassTech

This documentation will show you how to:

1) Enter your questions into the LiveClassTech Question Bank.

2) Create a link between the question in your presentation to the same question in

the LiveClassTech question bank. You will later use this link when polling

your students.

Note: All faculty members within a course share a login so that student data is

stored in a single location.

Therefore; faculty and coordinators should not access the shared

LiveClassTech acccount when LiveClassTech is being used in the

classroom.

Entering your questions into the LiveClassTech Question Bank

1. Log in to your class using your course specific login and password (Ex.

UCIBiochem@gmail.com with password ********). Mary Frances Ypma-

Wong has created a login and password for each MS1 and MS2 course.

2. Clicking the “Manage Questions” link (left side of the educator dashboard) will

open a new “Manage Questions” window. The first tab of this window is the

“Create Question” tab.

3. Enter the question along with possible answers. It is not necessary to provide

five answers. Mark the correct answer, if there is one.

It is probably easiest to copy and paste your questions and answers from your

previously created PowerPoint or keynote presentation. I also suggest that you tag

your questions using your name and a keyword.

Select “Save”. Even if the window doesn’t close, the question is most likely

saved. This is a quirk of the program.

Note- By selecting “Make question available to other educators…”, other non-UCI users of

LiveClassTech will be able to find and make use of the question. I suggest you do not use this

feature at this time.

4. The second tab of the “Manage Questions” window is the “My Questions” tab.

Questions can be edited or deleted within this tab.

5. Clicking “Link” next to a question pulls up the system-generated URL for use

in PowerPoint or Keynote integration. The link associated with each question can

be used to integrate LiveClassTech with PowerPoint or Keynote files.

Creating a link between the question in your presentation to the same

question in the LiveClassTech question bank

6. Highlight and copy (ctrl c) the URL belonging to the question within the

questions bank that you wish to insert. Having copied the question URL, you’ll

next insert the URL as a hyperlink within PowerPoint or Keynote.

7. Go to the slide you intend to insert the quiz question into. Highlight the text

within the slide that you would like to serve as the hyperlink.

8. Select the “Insert” tab then click the “Hyperlink” icon.

9. The following window will appear. Paste the quiz question URL into the

address field (see next page).

10. Next, click OK. You’ve just integrated LiveClassTech into your presentation!

11. Log out of LiveClassTech..

At this point, launching a quiz question using LiveClassTech is easy. See the

documentation and video for “Polling Your Students in Class Using

LiveClassTech. “
