We asked our ‘Educator In Residence’, Professor Alf Inge Wang to list the different scenarios in which he uses Kahoot! in his Software Engineering lectures at The Norwegian University of Technology & Science (NTNU). Here’s what he came up with:

I mainly use Kahoot! to…

• Find the knowledge level of students before lecturing a topic
• Help the students remember the most important elements from a lecture, by running a quiz that reviews the lecture in a fun and engaging way
• Help find any weaknesses in my own education plans
• Give me an opportunity to dive into topics where the majority of the students answered wrong
• Give the students the opportunity to create their own quizzes and in this way learn a topic through research, presentation and play each other’s quizzes
• Run a survey on students’ attitude
• Let the majority of students decide which of several topics should be lectured more in detail
