1 Set the window

Create a presentation from material you already use

Open an existing lesson or worksheet and select Create presentation. In the Questions settings, Schedule slideshow lets you set a start and end for this piece of independent work.

Time to answer is an alternative when you want a fixed duration instead of an availability window. Setting one timing method clears the other.

• Create a separate presentation for this delivery window.
• Choose a start and end that match the period when students should be able to submit.

2 Share access

Give students one route into the presentation

Once the presentation is created, copy its direct link, show the QR code or share the numeric lesson ID. Students who arrive before the start see when the presentation opens and ends.

Students can join without an account when you have not enabled Requires authentication.

• Use the direct link where you already communicate with students.
• Keep the QR code or lesson ID available as another route.

3 Work independently

Let students navigate the available slides

With follow mode off, the presentation shows “Students navigate freely”. Students move through the slides you have made available and submit each question as they work.

Submitted answers reload when the same participant returns. For an anonymous participant, that return depends on the same browser and its stored session.

4 Review response coverage

See how much of the question set received responses

The session summary shows participants, the average response rate and how many participants answered at least 50%, 80% or all questions. These measures describe responses to the question set, not time on task.

When a running presentation reaches its scheduled end, new submissions stop. Students can still review open content, while detailed response review and grading continue in their own features.
