Think, decide, rank with Prioritization question
Wooclap’s Prioritization question lets participants compare and rank a list of ideas, arguments, or actions, individually or as a group. Great for building decision-making skills, surfacing group consensus, or sparking deeper discussion.
Go beyond recall with reasoning-based activities
Promote critical thinking, not just right answers
Prioritization requires evaluation—not just memory. Students must weigh trade-offs, justify their rankings, and make choices based on meaningful criteria.
By assigning points to each option, learners engage in deeper reflection, helping develop analytical skills and decision-making.
Wooclap’s point-allocation system makes it easy to set custom ranking logic (such as importance or urgency), and results can be discussed live or reviewed asynchronously.
A structured decision-making tool for any subject
From ethics debates to science trade-offs, Prioritization questions give students a structured way to compare and justify their ideas, something traditional quizzes don’t support.
Instead of simply recalling facts, learners organize and defend their reasoning, fostering transferable skills across disciplines.
Wooclap’s Prioritization Question works with any discipline, supports both live and self-paced activities, and offers clear visual summaries to spark group discussion or reflection.
How Prioritization question works
Create your list
Add the items you want learners to rank such as concepts, actions, solutions, arguments, etc.
Set the ranking scale
Define how participants will assign value: allocate points based on importance, urgency, impact, etc.
Launch and discuss
Run the activity live or asynchronously. Review results together to explore reasoning, highlight patterns, and spark critical discussion.
How teachers and educators use Prioritization question
Encourage students to justify their decisions
Have learners rank options based on relevance, impact, cost, or ethics — then explain their reasoning.
The point-allocation system helps shift focus from guessing to thoughtful analysis, encouraging students to back up their choices with clear arguments.
Wrap up group work with structured consensus
After a brainstorming session or team activity, ask students to submit a shared prioritization. It’s a simple way to compare perspectives and foster negotiation and debate, live or asynchronously.
Foster in-depth thinking in any area of knowledge
From ranking climate solutions in environmental science to selecting the best marketing strategy in business class, Prioritization questions work across disciplines.
Customizable rankings and visual results help students organize their thoughts, think critically, and prepare for richer discussions.
