• You can gather input from the group by brainstorming in an orderly fashion, gauging needs, exploring interests, etc.
• With this tool, you increase interaction between students and yourself (in a large group).
• With the results of quiz questions, you can identify ambiguities in the literature. This can be the starting point of the meeting.
• Students gain insight into what they understand/manage and what they do not yet.
• By integrating quiz questions into your teaching, you create variety in the lecture and thus increase student engagement¹.

• The tool is not suitable for summative assessment. If you want to test small sections you can do this via Canvas Quizzes, for larger sections you can do this via TestVision.
• Wooclap is less suitable for asynchronous learning, i.e. independent learning outside of lectures. It is best to use Wooclap during your education (synchronous).
• The Wooclap plug-in for PowerPoint does not work optimally. It is better to use Wooclap in the browser via wooclap.uva.nl 

• Always consider what the purpose of using this tool is. Why are you asking students certain questions at a specific time in your lecture? Do you want to examine whether students understand the material discussed? Do you want to brainstorm or visualize what associations students have with a particular topic?
• In addition, think about how you will incorporate the answers into your teaching. What do the students do or what do you do with the input? Will you use the input for a discussion, for example, or to tailor your instruction to the needs of the students?
