Classes and teaching

A game can be a lesson. Under Advanced editing > Outline set its purpose to Education. That makes it rated General, joined with a class code, with free typing off and accuracy mode on. It needs at least one source card before it can be published.

Get the lesson ready

• On the Lore page, add Source cards: facts with where they come from. In accuracy mode, characters answer only from these, show the source, and say they don’t know rather than make things up.
• On the Lore page’s Learning tab, write what the game and each part of it teach: goals and key facts.
• On the Quizzes tab, press Add a quiz and Add a question (up to 20). Questions can be multiple choice, a short text answer (marked automatically, not case-sensitive) or an essay that you mark. The pass mark starts at 60%. Import QTI 3.0... brings in questions from other tools.
• Show the quiz with the step Show a quiz on the Story page, or tell the helper which box asks it.
• The owner gives you the Teacher role under Advanced editing > Publish, if you aren’t the owner.

Start a class

1. 1
   Step 1: Open Wolf World › then Games & Stories › then Teacher Console... and go to Classes.
2. 2
   Step 2: Under New class, pick the game and type a class name, such as Year 9 History. Choose teams (or one party), free typing on or off, and a language if you like.
3. 3
   Step 3: Press Create the class. You get a join code of 8 letters and numbers. Press Copy and give it to your students.

Students open Wolf World › then Games & Stories › then Adventures... (in WolfStorm: Wolf World › then Adventures...), type the code in the class code box on the game (WolfStorm: Class code (if your teacher gave you one)), and join. Every class starts fresh.

During the lesson

The Live page lists every student: where they are, which box they are on, parts done and quiz scores. Stuck means no progress for 5 minutes. From here you can:

• Pause everyone and Resume
• Gather everyone at a spot
• Ask the class a quiz
• Message the class
• turn free typing on or off
• End the class session

After the lesson

• Answers: mark essays Correct or Incorrect, with points.
• Report: Download CSV gives one row per student, with the columns Name, Team, Scenes done, Scenes, Quizzes, Ending and Minutes since joining. Download JSON has everything.
• Connections: send results to your school’s learning record store, a system that collects learning results, using the xAPI standard. Links for school learning systems (LTI) come later. Planned for later
