Assessment for Learning MOOC’s Updates
Innovative Digital Assessment – Kahoot! Quizzes
For this update, I explored Kahoot!, a game-based, computer-mediated assessment platform used in classrooms. Teachers create interactive quizzes that students answer in real time using devices. Immediate feedback helps both learners and teachers track understanding and engagement.
Strengths:
Engages students through gamification.
Provides instant results and analytics.
Supports formative assessment and motivates participation.
Weaknesses / Dangers:
Overemphasis on speed may disadvantage slower learners.
May not measure deeper understanding or critical thinking.
Relies on internet access and devices, which can worsen inequities.
Potential: Tools like Kahoot! make assessments more interactive, flexible, and engaging, supporting learning in ways traditional tests cannot.
