Presenting with Collaboration

Qwizdom software includes 5 Qwizdom Notes+ licenses that allow for classroom collaboration. (Additional licenses are available for a fee–email info@qwidom.com for pricing.)

Participants can view live lessons, respond, share annotations, take notes, and save presentations for review, using any tablet or laptop on the same local network as the presenter.

Start Presentation

  1. Select an activity and click Start Presentation. CPresent
  2. Select the Device Settings tab in Presentation Setup.
    collab1
  3. Check box to Enable local network communication.
    (Local communication allows users to connect to the session by IP address. All users must be on the same network as the presenter.)
  4. Click OK to start the presentation.

Participants Join Presentation

  1. On tablets, participants open the Qwizdom Notes+ App (available from the Google Play, Apple App, and Windows App stores).
    JoinSess
  2. Tap File and choose Join Session.
  3. Enter the local IP address of the presenter’s computer–displayed on the feedback response indicator (Q Bar) on the presentation screen (for example 192.168.1.120). [Do not enter the port number (the 4 digits following the colon). For example if 192.168.1.120:8080 is displayed, do not type ‘8080’.]
  4. Tap OK.

Alternatively, if participants do not have the Qwizdom Notes+ App, but have internet-enabled computers, they can type the local IP address of the presenter’s computer into a web browser, on port 8080. For example 192.168.1.120:8080. (In this case, the port number ‘8080’ is needed in order to join the session.)
(Note: browser version does not contain the same feature set as the app, such as saving and adding notes.)
