  • BrainPOP Quiz Integration

    New! The BrainPOP and BrainPOP Jr. quizzes are now fully integrated with ActiVote and ActivExpression, making it easier than ever to engage and assess each of your students. After the quiz, print or download the class results and incorporate them into your grading system.

    Follow these easy steps to enable your BrainPOP quizzes to run with ActivExpression or ActiVote.

    1. Register Your Devices

    First, ensure that your devices (either ActiVote or ActivExpression) are properly registered to your ActivHub. 

    Then, connect up your ActivHub.

     

    2. Download the Flash Bridge

    In order to run the quiz, you will need to download and install the Flash Bridge (ActivSDK Flash Extension). The Flash Bridge acts as the medium between your voting device and your BrainPOP quiz, enabling the two to interact together.

    Be sure to log in to Planet, then follow these links to download the Flash Bridge:

    Note: It is only necessary to perform this step the first time you conduct a voting session. 

    3. Run the Flash Bridge

    Before you start the quiz, make sure you enable the Flash Bridge. You will know it's running when you see the Flash (ActivExpression, pictured) icon in your Windows taskbar or Mac dock.

     

    4. Select a BrainPOP or BrainPOP Jr. Topic

    Navigate to the BrainPOP, www.BrainPOP.com, or BrainPOP Jr., www.BrainPOPJr.com quiz of your choice. Depending on which type of Learner Response System is registered to your ActivHub (either ActivExpression or ActiVote) you should see two extra options appear at the bottom of your screen for either ActivExpression Quiz or ActiVote Quiz.

    If neither of these options appears, make sure you have started the Flash Bridge and then refresh the page.

     

    5. Set Your Options

    The first time you start an integrated quiz, you'll be asked how long you’d like the voting for each question to last. You’ll also be able to set whether or not you’d like students’ names or ID's to appear onscreen. 

    Your preferences will be remembered, but you can change them at any time by clicking the "Options" button within the quiz.

     

    6. Start The Vote!

    When you're ready to start your BrainPOP quiz, click "Start Vote." Once the voting has ended, be sure to explore the on-screen tabs and buttons to familiarize yourself with the full range of capabilities and to tailor your own class voting experience.

     

    7. Final Results

    At the end of the quiz, hit the "Final Results" tab to print or download the class results.
