NEW Question Type: Word Cloud

A word cloud on a computer screen with a question at the top asking participants to describe how they feel about a training session in one word. The word cloud contains words like 'refined,' 'fluent,' 'enthusiastic,' 'confident,' and others, with various sizes and colors indicating different emphasis. On the left is a list of 20 participants' names, and at the bottom, there is a link for joining and an ID number.

Word Clouds are incredibly beneficial for gaining insight into popular concepts and revealing sentiment. A Word Cloud is a visual representation of word data.

In other words, it is a collection, or cluster, of words depicted to represent answers in a classroom.

Word Size Reflects Most Popular Answers

In this example, the word “confident” appears bigger and bolder, so the more often it’s entered by your attendees, the more important it is.
