Wooclap is a Belgian company that develops educational tools.
History
Launched in 2015, Wooclap was founded by Jonathan Alzetta and Sébastien Lebbe, engineers from the École Polytechnique in Brussels. Initially self-funded, the company raised €350,000 in 2017 to support its development.1
By December of 2021, Wooclap had reached 1 million users, primarily consisting of teachers and trainers.2 In 2023, Wooclap integrated artificial intelligence features, which can be used to create various questions and polls.
Research
Since its launch in 2015, Wooclap has been studied by researchers for its effectiveness.3456
Lille University study
In a 2019 study, Lille University examined the effectiveness of Wooclap in medical education. The study concluded that students preferred Wooclap over traditional solutions, although it noted that Socrative, a similar tool, was similarly preferred by students. However, Wooclap was criticized for being the "most expensive" and "very limited" for its free tier. It also pointed to the fact that e-learning tools in general do not make it as easy to ask questions as a traditional lesson.7
