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.
