Kahoot is an online student response system where you can create, play and share digital quizzes. It was developed by NTNU's Professor of Game Technology Alf Inge Wang and has now reached one billion players around the world!

Norsk versjon: Kahoot

How can I use Kahoot?

Originally it was a quiz-based student response system, but in recent years it has developed more and more features. There are many ways to use it to stimulate interaction in class, check student’s understanding of topics or even brainstorm as a class!

Kahoot has a lot of resources about how to use Kahoot in education. In addition to many resources and examples they run webinars about how to use Kahoot in higher education. Have a look on their website to find a webinar or resource that interests you.

How NTNUers do it
