- Leaderboard:
- After each question, a leaderboard is displayed, showing the top-scoring participants. This adds a competitive aspect to the learning experience.
- Review and Feedback:
- After the game, instructors can review the results and discuss the correct answers. This allows for immediate feedback and reinforces learning objectives.
- Reports and Analytics:
- Kahoot! provides reports and analytics on student performance, allowing instructors to track progress, identify areas of strength and weakness, and tailor their instruction accordingly.
- Asynchronous and Student-Paced Learning:
- Instructors can also assign Kahoot! challenges as homework or for self-paced learning. In this mode, students can complete the quizzes on their own time. Please note that we are not recommending Kahoot! for continuous use in online/asynchronous courses. Using Kahoot! in asynchronous courses requires creating and embedding a new Kahoot! each time the course runs.
