Prepare a structure for your class

Preparing a structure takes a few minutes: choose it, put your own content in and set the time. The method belongs to the structure. The content and the timing are yours.

  1. Step 1

    Choose a structure

    Under “Structures” you find them all, with group size and duration on every card. Not sure which fits? Tell the assistant at the top about your lesson and it keeps two or three.

    The Structures page with the assistant at the top and the cards below; the Round Robin card is outlined.

    Choose a structure: assistant and filters →

  2. Step 2

    Open the structure

    On the structure's page you read how it works and see how the class sees it on the board. Click “Put it on the board”. You land on the start screen. Only you see it; the class sees it once you start.

    The Round Robin page with the yellow Put it on the board button outlined on the right, Print the steps below it.

  3. Step 3

    Put your own content in

    On the start screen you type your questions or statements, one per line. Each line is one round. With − and + you choose how many, and “Speak” lets you say them instead of typing. You may keep the examples that are already there, or remove them with the cross ✕.

    The start screen with the Questions block outlined: three questions, each on its own line, with the input field, the minus and plus buttons and AI: another set above them.

  4. Step 4

    Let the AI write the questions

    Above the lines is a field. Type what the lesson is about there; the more you tell, the better the result. With − and + you choose how many questions to add. Then click “AI: another set”. The new lines land under what was already there, and you edit them like any other line. The AI writes in the language you chose for the class. This works with a free account, five times a month. No account, or rather in Copilot or your own assistant? Click “prefer your own assistant?” and then “Copy prompt”: that prompt was written for this structure.

    The Questions block with the row above the lines outlined: a microphone, the topic field, the minus and plus buttons and the button AI: another set.

  5. Step 5

    Set the time per step

    Open “Steps and time”. Set each step's time with − and +; a step at 0 drops out. Click a step to see on the right what the class sees then, or click the words to write them yourself. The total time is at the bottom.

    The open Steps and time block: four steps with their times and minus and plus buttons, on the right a preview of what the class sees and a note for the teacher.

  6. Step 6

    Light or dark board

    At the top of the start screen is the switch “Dark” | “Light”. Dark is for a darkened room: it gives the most contrast on a beamer. Choose light if the room is bright or the beamer projects pale. If you save the preparation, the choice is saved with it.

    The top bar of the start screen with the switch Dark and Light outlined; Light is on.

  7. Step 7

    Ready to start

    At the top right is “Start on the board”. Below it you choose the class language: the class can read the steps in a different language from yours. No board? “Print the steps” gives you them on one A4 sheet.

    The start screen with the green Start on the board button outlined at the top right, Print the steps and the class language below it.

  8. Step 8

    Save it for another lesson

    With a free account you keep the preparation with “Save preparation”. It then sits in “My preparations” and opens next time in one click, with your questions and times. A free account keeps five at a time. Full, and you need a new one? Then delete an older one in “My preparations”.
