Show an explanation after each question

An explanation is what the class sees after you reveal the answer: a few lines you read aloud, a picture, a short video, or two of these side by side. It’s optional, and you can add one to any question.

You add explanations on the projector computer, before you click Start the quiz. During the lesson, you show and hide them from your phone.

Add an explanation

1. 1

   Open the explanation editor

   Once your questions are added, click the row that says how many questions are ready. Next to a question, click Add explanation. If you’re writing a question yourself, open Explanation shown after the reveal (optional) under the answers instead. Once the explanation is complete, that heading shows Added with a tick, so you can see which questions have one without opening it.

2. 2

   Choose a layout

   Under Layout, pick One to fill the screen with text, an image or a video. Pick Two columns to put two things side by side, such as two images to compare, or text beside a picture. Pick Two rows to put one above the other, such as a video with its notes below.

3. 3

   Write the text

   For each part, choose what to Show: Text, Image or Video. For text, type what you’ll read aloud after the reveal. A blank line starts a new paragraph. Keep it under 2000 characters.

4. 4

   Add a picture

   Choose Image, then Choose image…. Search Unsplash for a free photo, or upload your own JPG, PNG or WebP. An Unsplash photo shows its photographer’s name underneath. To swap it, click Change image. To take it out, click Remove image.

5. 5

   Add a YouTube clip

   Choose Video and paste a link under YouTube link. Once Quizzy recognizes the link, Start (seconds) and End (seconds) appear, so you can play only the part you need. Each explanation can have one video.

6. 6

   Check the preview and save

   On the big screen shows the explanation exactly as the class will see it. If the text is too long for one screen, the preview says so. During the lesson, Space scrolls it. When it looks right, click Save explanation. The question’s row then shows Explanation and what it contains. To change it later, click Edit explanation. To delete it, click Remove explanation.
