Kahoot is a fun and interactive online learning platform where you can create, play, and share quizzes, surveys, and challenges with others. It's like a game where you answer questions and earn points to compete with friends, family or classmates. You might already be familiar with Kahoot from student projects or family quiz nights, but have you ever gone looking for a quiz and wanted one that was a little more polished?


Current research* shows that platforms such as Kahoot 
  1. have effectiveness in enhancing student engagement, motivation, and learning outcomes;
  2. increase student engagement and active participation in classroom settings;
  3. can be utilized across a range of subjects and educational levels;
  4. have the potential accessibility for diverse learners, including those with disabilities;

If you are a student, you can use Kahoot to:
  • Make learning fun, create quizzes with your study materials and challenge your friends to play. Many people worldwide organize Kahoot night activities to make events more entertaining.
  • Kahoot helps you remember what you've learned and challenges your knowledge in a game-based way. For example, you can learn a foreign language at any level using Kahoot as a tool for word repetitions.

  • If you don't have time to create a quiz, the platform has many ready-to-go quizzes, slides, and assignments created by educators;
