I think Echometer is perfect for anyone who wants to bring better structure, accountability, and historical tracking to their retros. Anyone who wants to convert feedback into action items and track progress between retros will be particularly suited for Echometer. This is also a great tool for someone trying to figure out how to run retros, as it provides structures and lots of presets to try out!
I think it works great as a part of lesson. Sometimes teachers use it as a whole period lesson and I don't think that's effective. I also find that students like to use it to test themselves so it works well as a self study tool. I do think Kahoot! has a lot of options for responses which is great.
Useful for either, in-person or online classes: it can work from a projector or screen in in-person classes, or by sharing the screen in online classes.
Excellent to get an idea of the understanding or knowledge level of a group of people: depending on the intention of the game, the professor or person in charge of it can make and change the questions to address certain points.
Easy to use for both professors and students: Kahoot is intuitive, simple, and fun to use.
Interactive and engaging: Kahoot is a game designed to work as a tool for professors, which makes it perfect to use with students.
Having sometimes large classes means that I cannot use Kahoot! as it only allows a very limited amount of participants.
The above is the main issue and other competitor platforms (Mentimeter) do much better on this
There is also very limited choice with the basic account in terms of types of questions. Some sort of corporate license might help Universities purchasing the advanced subscription (which costs too much for a single professional) and have access to all the features.
It took just one retro to explore the UI and figure out what features and functionality are available, and to understand how to run retros in the platform! I always prefer to try something out in order to learn it, and this platform was easy to understand. The survey collection is especially intuitive and easy to follow, and makes it as easy as possible to collect team feedback!
The site's currently layout feels busy. If you are not a seasoned Kahoot user, it is easy to be distracted and overwhelmed by the information presented. I would not recommend this site to a novice computer user. If the user is tech-savvy and willing to navigate the help topics provided by the site, lessons and games can be created more easily with time and practice.
The information that Kahoot shares on its blog and support center is updated frequently and provides many ideas for ways to use the platform. I have personally received timely support from Kahoot for any issues I have encountered. Their dedication to their users is amazing. The company is incredibly receptive to suggestions or ideas from their community.
Figma provided us with a basic whiteboard to collect team feedback asynchronously and all in one place, but we specifically wanted to be able to collect anonymous feedback and also collect feedback via surveys prior to our Retros. Echometer provided both of those functionalities, while still giving us the collaborative structure we needed around our review time!
I forgot the names of the other products like Kahoot. I think that summarizes how close I am to favoring Kahoot within this category. In our field when it's webinar time we always look forward to Kahoot sessions in between or at the end of the session. It is great to have Kahoot during these times
