The teacher will invite a member of a team, or the whole team, to choose a question on the screen (or the teacher can name a question) and answer it, and award marks if it is answered correctly. 

I have tried the '1 team' option. In that case, it becomes a self-study resource, and when students are ready, they 'play' it to test themselves. But then, this use is similar to that of Quizlet.
