Likelihood to Recommend 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.
Read full review It's a good platform that has some very good content. We use Canvas as our learning management platform. It is nice to be able to integrate some of the pre-build WileyPLUS course modules into our Canvas course. Other publishers are good too and they sync with Canvas, but I find Wiley's Canvas modules easy to use and customize.
Read full review Pros 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.

There are solution walk-through videos, interactive tutorials, and real-world videos. Tech support- I get help when I need it, right away! Read full review Cons They can add more ways to perform quizzes. The site is not very simple to find your way through. It is uploaded with so much data; therefore it would be good if they can organize it a little bit. It would be good to give free templates to free users to attract them. Read full review There are a few errors in the homework answers. Some questions could be worded better to help students better match the formatting expectations when they change throughout the chapter. The offline PDF of the text should always be included in any online package. Read full review Likelihood to Renew Reliable effective tool.
Read full review Usability 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.

Read full review Support Rating 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.
Read full review 24-7 support is available by phone, chat, or email. They also hold annual events which I have been blessed to attend twice. The staff is excellent. They are knowledgeable and genuinely care about you and your students. There are online forums for instructors to collaborate, learn, and have fun. Instructors receive gift cards for their participation too!
Read full review Alternatives Considered Kahoot is better for my competitive students, they love seeing their name constantly on the leaderboard. Kahoot has more lessons to chose from and my students simply like it more than
Quizizz .
Quizizz is good for more formal assessments, while Kahoot is better for more whole review of content. Both are appropriate in different situations!
Read full review WileyPLUS is far better than one competing product I have used and noticeably better than a second competing product I have tested. I prefer not to name the other products. It is much easier to operate from an instructor perspective. Given the low level of questions it generates from students, I am certain it is easy for students to pick up and the level of Wiley support given to me and to students is great.

Read full review Return on Investment 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." Read full review Decreased, significantly, my grading time. No more manual grading of work. It is more of a review that allows me to target specific areas and specific students. Students now have resources to help them learn the content when they are away from class. Students get immediate feedback (depending on instructor settings) on problem areas and the ability to learn from their mistakes without having to wait for the instructor. Read full review ScreenShots
