With our KlickerUZH release v3.1, we introduce numerous new features, enhancements, and bug fixes. The most important changes and additions compared to KlickerUZH v3.0 are the following:

  • PowerPoint Add-in: In addition to our well-established web evaluation view for live quizzes, our PowerPoint evaluation add-in is now stable. While we cannot provide this add-in through the official Microsoft store at the moment, you can deploy it inside your organization using the publically provided manifest files.
  • Group Activities: To encourage more collaboration in asynchronous settings, KlickerUZH now offers group activities, including their creation and manual grading on the lecturer side, as well as a dedicated student view.
  • Practice Pool: Regular repetition of learning content is an important element for better retention rates. To optimize the experience for students, our new practice pool automatically selects suitable questions from all practice quizzes of the course according to a spaced repetition logic.
  • Flashcards: To learn content by heart more efficiently, flashcards are well-established in the community. With this release, KlickerUZH now also offers the use of flashcards in practice quizzes and microlearnings. Through student feedback, their ordering will again be based on the spaced repetition logic.
  • Content Elements: As an additional element type, content elements introduce the possibility to add markdown blocks to your KlickerUZH activities, allowing you to integrate short text sections (including images and LaTeX formulas) directly inside the activities.
  • Achievements: Extending our gamification concept, students are now automatically awarded achievements whenever they reach a podium in a gamified live quiz and complete and/or pass a group activity.
  • Improved Course Overview: Our course overview on the lecturer side has been redesigned, offering more direct access to all your KlickerUZH activities in one place.
