Kahoot!

Kahoot! completely disrupted the concept of what an "assessment" looks like in a modern environment. It is wildly famous in the K-12 education sector, but has heavily penetrated corporate training and enterprise onboarding. It turns a boring multiple-choice quiz into a high-energy, highly competitive game show. The host (a teacher or a corporate trainer) projects the quiz on a main screen. The participants (students or employees) do not need an account; they simply enter a PIN code on their smartphones to join. As questions appear on the main screen, participants frantically tap their phones to answer. The software awards points not just for correct answers, but for speed, displaying a highly engaging leaderboard between every single question. For corporate HR teams, Kahoot! is the ultimate tool for compliance training. Instead of forcing employees to silently click through a boring 30-minute cybersecurity slideshow, the HR director runs a live Kahoot! game. The competitive nature ensures everyone actually pays attention to the material, while the backend software still logs the assessment data to prove to auditors that the employees passed the training.
