Question time,
minus the
headache.
Handraise helps you manage questions for your classroom. Hands go up, questions line up, and everyone knows where they stand. Mark questions as answered and that’s it.
How it works
Ridiculously simple
Three simple steps, no learning curve for you and no login required for students.
Create a link for students to join
Students simply join your class using a public link, QR Code or session code. No login required.
Students raise their hands from the app
At all times students can raise their hands, know their position in the queue and can lower their hand.
Manage questions from your dashboard
View pending questions, mark questions as answered or shuffle the queue.
Put it on the projector, so everyone knows where they stand.
The whole class sees who’s up and who’s next. No more “when’s my turn?”.
There’s more
Built for busy classrooms
Question types, each with its own queue
Name the kinds of question your class actually asks, give each a colour, and every hand arrives sorted. Filter by type to see questions for each queue.
History that answers “who haven’t I heard from?”
Every question asked, answered and cancelled, sorted by day, week, month and all time so you know who’s participating and who’s not.
Add a question yourself on behalf of a student
A question asked out loud, a student without a computer or phone or a student who’d rather not use the app. Type a name and done.
A note from Benoit, maker of Handraise
“I built Handraise for my own classroom, I know first-hand the challenges of running a busy classroom.”
Hello there 👋,
Handling questions in the classroom can be challenging. Many students raise their hands at once, it’s hard to keep track of who was first and it’s hard to answer questions fairly.
Students get frustrated and so do you. Maybe you just write names on the board, but now you have a board to manage with names to write and erase with every single question.
With Handraise, students join your classroom with a simple link or a QR Code. They simply raise their hand by clicking a button and questions line up in your dashboard automatically. No accounts or passwords to manage, just a simple button to click.
Students know at all time their position in the queue, making it predictable for them when they’ll get an answer. As you answer questions, you mark them as answered and that’s it.
I really hope you give it a try and feel the relief that I felt when I used Handraise for the first time in a classroom.
