Kahoot! vs. Microsoft Powerpoint Online

In my encounters with Kahoot, It is a great thing that Kahoot gets attendees to listen and interact during webinar sessions. It helps presenters ensure that people are listening and learning something. With Kahoot, it is easier to convey messages and learnings during webinars as attendees look forward to answering all questions right during Kahoot time.

I love this tool so much personally. Since I am in a job where I have to make the report everyday. I am working as a technical associate and we receive so many incidents of different severity. So at the end of every shift we all have to make the reports and need to show them to the managements, Since onshore and offshore are working in this project So Microsoft Powerpoint Online is the best suitable tool for us to make the report and presentation and they all can access it from anywhere in the organisation.

• 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.

• Sometimes formatting is difficult. It is different than formatting in the application.
• When creating shapes, the shape will not adjust and will be frozen if I want to make it bigger or smaller.
• Sometimes certain fonts do not show up the same in the application vs online.

I would rather change to other tool if I could. Microsoft Powerpoint Online was top-down forced without a real technical (maybe financial only) reason, and I think the product itself looks like a poor adaptation of the offline version. In my experience, it cannot be properly used in real time collaboration, can't handle large media (images/videos), has low performance even for a single user, it is a nightmare.

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.

Its about as usable as regular powerpoint to the normal user. The lack of some tools is fine and will go unnoticed. When presenting, you'll see animations may lag behind a bit, so I still recommend downloading to desktop to share content in a presentation once it is finalized.

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.

I think all these products have their own merits. We actually use all of them but some things lend themselves better to Kahoot!. It's also multifunctional and easy to set up and use in comparison to the others.

All of the above have their strengths, Canva has integrated AI tools that can help develop a presentation quickly. Google Slides works much like Microsoft Powerpoint Online and can bring in a deck natively to convert. You can also do some more in Slides as far as collaborating with others, and still have a master deck. Acrobat is a fallback when having trouble with a Microsoft Powerpoint Online over fonts/animations, we will use a pdf to present from.

• We use the free version so there is definitely ROI for us.
• It provides easy access to a quiz feature without having to use complicated software.
• So many people are using it now that some students seem to be getting a little "over it."

• Using this collaborative version of Microsoft PowerPoint online has saved us a lot of aggravation and allowed us to more efficiently create necessary presentations for the company.
• I would say that using it has reduced costs and increased efficiency simply due to the fact that we're saving time and maintaining our momentum.
• One of the best features is that anyone on the team can go in and tweak the live presentation without having to create additional versions that then need to be circulated.
