Start your first session

Create a deck, present it, collect answers, and finish with Notes.

Sign in and choose a space

Open the workspace and sign in with Google. Use the same account on another computer to reach your saved decks and shared spaces. A local development installation can instead provide Username and Password fields; use the credentials supplied for that installation.

Choose a space in the space switcher. To create one, select New space, enter its name, choose Tutoring, Classroom, or Training, and create the space.

ExperienceNavigation and starting material
TutoringStudents and groups, their decks, learner access links, and sample language lessons.
ClassroomClasses and classroom material, alongside the Library.
TrainingShared decks and workshop material in the Library.

All three experiences use the same deck editor and presentation tools. Choose Space settings to change a space’s experience later.

Create a deck

  1. Open the space and folder where you want to save the deck.
  2. Select New deck. A blank deck opens in the editor.
  3. Select Untitled in the title bar and enter a name. Press Enter or select elsewhere to finish.
  4. Select New slide and choose a template. Replace its example content with your own.
  5. Select Ask to add a question. For multiple choice, enter a prompt and at least two answers. Mark the correct answer if the question has one.
  6. Wait for Saved before closing the editor.

To start from a complete language lesson, open a student’s or class’s Library, select Sample lessons, choose a language and level, and open a lesson. Review its questions and homework before teaching.

Present and invite participation

Select Present to open the presenter. Use the slide rail or the forward and back controls to navigate. A slide with a reveal sequence advances one part at a time.

Select Start session when you want participants to join. You can start directly from the editor or enable participation while presenting. Starting from an open presenter keeps the current slide and reveal position. The session captures the current saved deck content.

Open Session menu → Join page to obtain the participant address. Share the join link, show the QR code, or give participants the eight-character code. Open the audience display on your projector or shared screen; keep the presenter controls on your own screen.

Participants joining with a code use their phones or computers. A session configured for named learner access requires the learner’s access link; a roster session requires its individual roster invitation. See joining instructions.

Collect and reveal answers

  1. Open a question in the presenter.
  2. Watch the joined and answered counts.
  3. Allow time for answers. For a timed question, the response window closes when its countdown expires.
  4. Select the results/reveal control to share the result and, where configured, the correct answer.
  5. Advance to the next slide or question.

Result visibility and the ability to change an answer follow the question’s settings. Preview the question before using it with a group.

Finish

Select End session and confirm. Ending closes participation. If the session has a durable record, use Notes to record outcomes, private tutor notes, and follow-up work. Save the Notes before leaving the page.

Download results while they remain available. Eligible accounts capture a retained results archive when the session ends. The live response data has a short retention period; see retention and limits.

Leaving the presenter and ending a live session are separate actions. Use Live now in the Library to return to an ongoing session.
