Creating engaging, differentiated learning experiences is a daily challenging task for teachers. Courses allows educators of all grades and subjects to develop cohesive learning experiences by combining their existing content with other playful, interactive activities to engage students during an entire class period (from the start of class to the end of class). These experiences can be full lesson plans for classroom teaching or blended learning, a set of homework materials or study guides, that are accessible all within Kahoot!.
With Courses, educators can design learning experiences that cater best to their students’ needs to develop deeper learning, all while keeping the engagement high. Teachers can decide which activities to deliver live in the classroom and which ones can be assigned for at home learning. Even more, educators can track student progress throughout the various activities within the course to inform next steps. We will continue to add great features this fall, but you can already get started with our first edition of Courses on the Discover page.
