Option One: Creating the Word Cloud activity

---

A Word Cloud is a collection, or cluster of words depicted in different sizes that indicate its frequency or importance. When a word is mentioned more frequently within a given set of text data, the bigger or bolder the word will appear in a Word Cloud. The Word Cloud H5P tool can be used to conduct a poll in which users can either select or type in a response.

See our example here:  Word Cloud (external link)

 

To access H5P either from VU Collaborate space or the H5P dashboard, refer to: Introduction to H5P
