The Word Cloud activity allows participants to input multiple words and see them displayed in a dynamic word cloud. The word cloud visualises the frequency of words submitted by a group. It’s a great activity for participants to brainstorm, express emotions or another set of finite words. Editors should only use this if they believe there will be duplicity in the answers and most of the responses are single words.
How to add a Word Cloud:
Add a “Word Cloud” activity to your desired section
Add a headline and description to prompt the group. We also recommend uploading an “Audio introduction” that supports the text on screen. Audio intros play at the beginning of the activity.
Add a similar (or the same) prompt on the participant device. This is what they see on their phone.
Choose the number of input fields for the word cloud.
Choose your desired time. We recommend 2 minutes for most interactive activities.
Choose your atmospheric background audio that plays while participants are adding their words.
Provoking complex or deep thoughts? Add an optional “Audio tip” to give participants an extra prompt to provoke further.
When to use a Word Cloud:
Use a word cloud to visualise the frequency of answers (words, thoughts, or feelings)
