How to set up a SCT Judgment question in Wooclap?

The University of Montreal describes the SCT Judgment as an exercise which: 

« ...presents the participant with cases in the form of short vignettes reflecting the complexity and ambiguity often encountered in professional practice. The participant's task is to evaluate the appropriateness or inappropriateness of behaviours related to professionalism or ethics.

The Judgment Concordance does not claim to show the ideal professional or ethical reasoning in a given situation. It provides an opportunity for repeated reflection in contexts that the participant is likely to encounter in their practice. »

The participants' answers are compared to answers previously given by members of a panel of experts. Learners can then find out how their answers compare to those of the panel and explore the reasoning of the panel members using the justifications they gave for their answers.

Create a SCT Judgment question

First, open the event of your choice where you would like to add a SCT Judgment question type. You can also start from scratch by creating a brand-new event.

Click on New Question and find SCT Judgment question under Assess Understanding.

Setting up a SCT Judgment question

When you create a SCT Judgment on Wooclap, there are two possibilities:

  1. you already possess the experts panel's answers

  2. you are going to collect those answers using Wooclap

You have already gathered the data from the panel of experts

  • Create the question

Once you have selected the SCT Judgment question (as shown above), fill in the required fields (i.e. the case description and the question) and specify how many experts have selected each answer on the Likert scale.

  1. Describe the case or situation

  2. Question you want to ask your audience

  3. Expert's opinions

  • Ask your live audience

Use the "correct answer" button to display the experts' opinions alongside the students' answers. Participants can also add comments to complete or justify their answers.

You will gather the experts panel's answers using Wooclap

  • Create the question

Unless you are going to ask the experts to answer this question during a live session, create the question in the Self-paced Session tab and fill in the required fields (i.e. the case description and the question).


​ ☝️ Do not fill in the "Experts' opinion" section!

  • Gather data from the experts panel

Place your questionnaire online and share your event code with the experts so they can select an answer on the Likert scale and add a short comment to support their reasoning.

  • Import the results into the Live Session tab

When you import a question, you duplicate that question in a new location (another event or questionnaire). In this case, you can import the question containing the experts' answers in another event, another questionnaire, or the Live Session of the same event.

When you do, the experts' answers will be saved in the new question so you can do the exercise with your audience.

Here's how you can import a question:

  1. Click on Import questions

  2. Choose From Wooclap

  3. Select the event which contains the SCT Judgment question

  4. In the right tab, marked Self-paced session, select your question

  • Ask your participants in real-time

The question you have imported contains the opinions of the experts. You can compare the students' answers to those of the experts by using the “correct answer” button.

You can now brag to everyone that you are an SCT Judgment expert!
