What are the benefits of using lecture mode?

  • Combine slides with Kahoot!’s interactivity

Adapt your presentation to suit your needs. Whether you want to motivate your audience through podiums and a dose of healthy competition or keep things simple with a streamlined, professional presentation, lecture mode lets you decide the best way to deliver your content. With our slide sync function, you can seamlessly sync your kahoots with Google Slides and PowerPoint—all with a single click. Import your content just once to simplify collaboration and ensure your students always see the latest version, even with last-minute edits!

  • Control the pace

Take control of questions, points, podiums, and more! With lecture mode, you can give students extra time to discuss and explore topics deeply by controlling the timing. If your goal is to conduct live formative assessments or gather valuable feedback, you can also hide the points system and leverage advanced question types to capture the insights you need.

  • Collect insights

Lecture mode allows the presenter to guide the flow of the session, encouraging real-time feedback and open discussions without time constraints. Instead of focusing solely on a single winner, using collaborative tools and interactive elements can encourage deeper engagement.

How can you apply lecture mode?

  • When delivering classes, lecture mode allows you to adapt your presentations accordingly. Incorporate advanced question types to assess prior knowledge, or delve straight into your slides to introduce a new topic. Its flexibility lets you dive into discussion and take your time teaching new, often complex topics.
  • Facilitate high-quality PD and training sessions for your colleagues across campus. Lecture mode combines a more professional appearance with Kahoot!’s signature interactivity, enabling you to gather feedback and deliver engaging training sessions.
  • Share research projects with streamlined presentations, create targeted quiz questions and polls to prompt discussion and gauge understanding, and professionally deliver your research while retaining an interactive element.
  • Create a more inclusive and accessible learning environment with fewer animations and the ability to hide the leaderboard at the end of a kahoot.

Lecture mode is available on Kahoot!+ Silver, Kahoot!+ Gold, and Kahoot! EDU Standard and Pro, the all-in-one toolkit for boosting course engagement.
