Understand the Survey Results
In Survey format, each proposition receives a number of points based on the position in which it was ranked.
For example, with three propositions A, B, and C:
Ranking A-C-B: A gets 3 points, C gets 2 points, B gets 1 point.
Ranking B-A-C: B gets 3 points, A gets 2 points, C gets 1 point.
The proposition with the most points ranks at the top of the final results. In case of a tie, the propositions concerned share the same place.
Track Scores and the Podium
In Evaluation format, one point is awarded per correct answer, zero otherwise.
Scores are visible to presenters and participants via the My score button, at the top of the screen, next to the Results button.
Click the trophy icon to display the overall podium: individual ranking and team ranking if teams have been created.
To view scores across the whole session, use the Present button at the top right, to access the projection screen.
