We believe that there should be no limits to when and where you can learn. Engage students in class, remotely or in a hybrid learning environment, and easily assess learning progress.
Kahoot!’s distance learning tools allow you to connect with students when they’re studying from home and increase participation.
Do pulse-checks and assess learning
From quick pulse checks to formative assessment, Kahoot! can help you instantly capture actionable insights and target instruction in any learning environment.
Power up independent study
From student-paced game modes to game creation projects, Kahoot! powers up independent study and help learners become leaders.
"Kahoot! has been really helpful for me to target instruction and let my students study at their own pace when our university transitioned to distance learning."
Olga Filippova, Senior lecturer, University of Auckland
"Kahoot! is a fantastic way to engage every single student - even remotely. Video conference fatigue is real but Kahoot! solves this problem."
Gustavo Lovato, AP Spanish and literature teacher at Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School
How Kahoot! can help you connect with students in any learning environment
Host kahoots live over video conferencing
Play a live game of Kahoot! with students joining from home. Share your screen with an online video conferencing tool (Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, Skype and others) to facilitate this. If your students only have one device at home, you can choose to display questions and answers on their devices in live kahoots.
Assign student-paced games that can be played anywhere
Extend learning beyond live games and encourage accuracy over speed with student-paced games in challenge mode. You can even turn off the timer if you’d like! Students play at home at their own pace with questions and answers on their screens, while a teacher sees their progress in real time. Many teachers find this way to play Kahoot! helpful for content review, exam prep, and homework assignments.
Another powerful way to engage students at home is to encourage them to create their own kahoots based on learning content and host it live or assign as a challenge. This is a powerful activity for project-based learning that helps students develop from learners to leaders.
Assess learning, from pulse-checks to formative assessment
Run pulse-checks with quiz, polls and other questions to collect valuable student feedback. For example, pre-assess knowledge, or find out how students are feeling in general. Kahoot!’s visual reports on live games and challenges will help you with formative assessment: see how the class performed, identify difficult questions that need followup, and reinforce learning.
In times of the lockdown, many educators have been using Kahoot! to keep their school’s community connected by inviting staff, students and their families to play kahoots together. For example, our ambassador Steve Auslander has been hosting virtual Kahoot! Family Fridays every week – and it’s been a huge success!
In addition to learning impact, playing Kahoot! also helps students get to know each other better and bond, which is especially important in an online classroom setting. For example, language teacher Carol Salva uses student-led kahoots as a way to connect in a classroom with diverse cultural backgrounds.
Alison Vance, middle school math teacher from Massachusetts, shares how she facilitates content review and encourages participation with student-paced challenges while school is closed.
