Wooclap’s Sorting question helps learners sequence steps, rank information, or classify concepts in the correct order. It’s a simple, interactive way to boost understanding, memory, and logic, whether live or asynchronously.
Make thinking more visible with Sorting question
Clarify how learners understand concepts
It’s tough to assess if students really grasp cause-effect chains, steps in a process, or category logic.
Wooclap’s Sorting question helps surface learner reasoning in real time, so you can instantly spot confusion or misconceptions.
With a simple drag-and-drop interface and live response display, instructors quickly see common errors and adapt instruction on the fly.
Adaptable across subjects, formats, and levels
From historical timelines to vocabulary drills or classification tasks, Sorting questions support deep learning in any discipline.
Whether used live or asynchronously, learners interact directly with course concepts, moving them around and, above all, thinking about why.
Add a timer to keep activities focused, or switch to team mode to encourage discussion and collaborative thinking.
How Sorting question works
Create your sorting activity
Write your question and the elements students need to organize and define the correct order.
Launch live or asynchronously
Students drag and drop items on their screen to place them in the correct order, either during a live session or on their own time.
Review and debrief
Display the most frequent answers, or correct answers, to spot common mistakes, clarify reasoning, and launch discussions. Export the data to track participation and progress.
How teachers and educators use Sorting question
Use Sorting to bring structure to abstract thinking, quickly check comprehension or guide discussion in just a few minutes
Test historical or logical order
Ask learners to put events, milestones, or arguments in the correct timeline or logical flow.
Sequence steps in a process
Have students reorder scientific steps, stages of development, or workflows to test comprehension.
Classify or group ideas
Let students sort vocabulary, concepts, or categories to reinforce deeper understanding.
Spark discussion with live check-ins
Use a Sorting question during a lecture or workshop to surface diverse reasoning paths. Display responses in real time to prompt debate, justify choices, and deepen understanding.
