Your first live quiz

  1. On the slide where you want the question: Insert ▸ Live poll.
  2. Under Type, choose Quiz (with right answer and points), write the question and the answers, and put an asterisk (*) before the correct one.
  3. Present (F5). A QR code and a short code appear on the slide: students join from their phones, with nothing to install and no sign-up.
  4. When time is up, the correct answer and the leaderboard are shown. For a ranking of the whole session, add a poll of type Quiz leaderboard at the end.

Classroom mode: every student with the slides on their device

  1. Before presenting: View ▸ Classroom mode.
  2. Present. A code and a QR appear in the corner: anyone who joins sees on their phone or laptop the slide you are projecting, at the same pace.
  3. Polls and activities are answered right there. On their device, Aa · Easy reading shows the text larger and reads it aloud.
  4. When you finish: View ▸ Classroom results, with each student's points.

Automatic grades in Moodle

  1. Whoever manages the school's Moodle adds Revela as an external tool with dynamic registration, pasting this address: https://revelaslides.com/api/lti/register. It works the same for other LTI 1.3-compatible platforms.
  2. Share your presentation by link from revelaslides.com (File ▸ Share ▸ With people, “Anyone with the link can view”).
  3. In your Moodle course, add a Revela activity and paste the presentation link.
  4. Each student does it at their own pace; Revela grades their quizzes and activities and the grade reaches the Moodle gradebook on its own.

Flipped classroom: let them watch at home at their own pace

  1. Prepare the presentation with your explanations and an activity or two to check that it has been understood.
  2. Share it by link (File ▸ Share). For Google Classroom, View ▸ Google Classroom publishes it in your class.
  3. Whoever opens it goes through it at their own pace and answers the activities inside the slides, no phones needed. To try it yourself: View ▸ Self-paced.
  4. In class, you spend the time answering questions and practising.

3 minutes

Create a presentation with AI from your notes

  1. AI ▸ Create presentation.
  2. Write the topic, or attach your notes: a PDF, texts or photos of your notes or of the whiteboard.
  3. Choose how many slides, for what audience, the tone and the design. The AI prepares the slides with their speaker notes.
  4. Review them and change them as you like: it is your presentation. AI is paid for with credits (included in Pro).

2 minutes

Your PowerPoint, presented with your phone as a remote

  1. File ▸ Open (or drag the file into the window): .pptx and .odp files open with their text, images, tables, charts and animations.
  2. Add a poll or an activity if you like.
  3. View ▸ Connect phone and scan the code: your phone advances the slides, shows your notes and works as a pointer.
  4. To send it back as PowerPoint: File ▸ Export ▸ PowerPoint.

5 minutes

Class notebook and rubrics

  1. After a session with quizzes: View ▸ Classroom results ▸ Save in the notebook, in the right group (for example, “Year 3 A”).
  2. View ▸ Class notebook shows, by term, each student's grade out of 10 and their participation, and downloads it as CSV.
  3. In the Rubrics tab, create your criteria and levels; Assess with a rubric grades each student, and counts towards the report.
  4. A rubric can also be inserted into a slide to show it to the class before an assignment.

3 minutes

Presentations everyone can follow

  1. View ▸ Check accessibility warns you about images without a description, low contrast, small text, slides without a title or that advance too fast, and fixes the contrast with one click.
  2. When presenting, the C key turns on live captions of what you say.
  3. The R key (or the Aa button) opens reading mode: the slide's text in a clear, spaced font, which can be read aloud.
  4. Describe the important images (right-click ▸ alt text): reading mode and screen readers read them out.
