How to create and manage slides in Wooclap for a presentation?
Slides allow you to share information with participants, add instructions to a questionnaire, and explain theoretical concepts.
On Wooclap, you have two options to show your presentation:
Inserting Wooclap questions into your presentation
You can upload a presentation you've created somewhere else (PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote, Google Slides) and add Wooclap questions in between the slides. Please note that the files you upload will be converted into images, and that you will therefore lose all animations and links you inserted into your slides.
Our PowerPoint add-in allows you to insert questions directly into your PowerPoint file. If you'd like to use Wooclap in a Google Slides presentation, you can use our add-in, available for Chrome and Firefox.
If you don't have any animations, but you wish to add links to your presentation, you can do so with the Slide question type.
Using the Slide question type
Create a Slide
First, open the event of your choice where you would like to add a Slide question type. You can also start from scratch by creating a brand-new event.
Once you are in your event, click on New question and find the Slide under Showcase Information.

Customise the Slide
The Slide uses a language called Markdown to format text.
If you don't know Markdown, that's not an issue: you can take a look at the Formatting help on the right to guide you in the creation of your slide.

Add a picture to the Slide
There are two possibilities to add an image to your Slide:
1. You can add a picture as a background by clicking on the gray area in the slide (1) or from the panel on the right. You can also choose different layout formats from that same side panel (2). The picture will be imported from your computer files.
2. You can also add a picture to your slides via the markdown syntax: . The image will be inserted directly in the slide, between text lines.
Here are a couple of things to keep in mind while adding a picture to a slide via the markdown syntax :
The image must be hosted somewhere on the Internet (and not on your computer) to appear on the slide;
The text written in between square brackets (instead of “alt-text”) is meant to give information about the image for visually impaired people through the use of screen readers.
