Scenario 1Spot the Mistake

Mr. D teaches a topic, gives his class a WayGround quiz, and hands back their scores. He then moves straight on to the next chapter without looking at which specific questions many learners got wrong.

What is the main mistake in this scenario?

The feedback loop requires four stages. Once you have the results, you must identify the missing knowledge and go back to teach it. Skipping this step wastes the power of instant feedback and leaves learners with unresolved gaps.

Use WayGround's per-question report to find which questions scored below 60% โ€” those are the topics to revisit in your next lesson.
Scenario 2Spot the Mistake

Ms. N is creating a WayGround quiz for paper mode. She adds multiple choice questions, then also adds a short-answer question and a true/false question, thinking the more variety the better.

What is the mistake in this scenario?

The cue cards are the physical interface between learner and teacher โ€” they only display four choices (A, B, C, D). This means paper mode is strictly limited to multiple choice questions. Any other question type cannot be used in this format.

If you need true/false questions, simply rephrase them as multiple choice by offering four answer options instead of two.
Scenario 3Spot the Mistake

Mr. F distributes cue cards to his class and is ready to scan. He notices several learners gripping their cards tightly, with their fingers covering the printed QR code in the middle of the card. He scans anyway and gets no results.

What is the mistake in this scenario?

The QR code on each cue card is the unique identifier that tells WayGround which player is answering and what their answer is. If a learner's hand covers this area, the scan will fail and their response won't be recorded.

Remind learners before every quiz: hold the card by the edges only, keep the QR code fully visible, and point their chosen letter (A, B, C, or D) up towards the ceiling.
Scenario 4Spot the Mistake

After a WayGround session, Ms. T sees the overall class accuracy is 57%. She tells her learners "you need to study more" and closes the report without looking at the individual question breakdown.

What is the mistake in this scenario?

The overall percentage only tells you how much the class struggled โ€” it doesn't tell you where. The per-question breakdown is where the real insight lives: clicking on any question reveals exactly how many learners chose the wrong answer and what they chose instead.

A question with less than 60% accuracy is a red flag. Use that data point as your re-teaching agenda for the next lesson โ€” this is how you close the feedback loop.
