Best Practices for Creating Kahoot

Updated on

Why Switching to Poll Everywhere is the Preferred Choice 

While Kahoot has been widely used in classes and meetings, we encourage transitioning to Poll Everywhere as a best practice for interactive learning and engagement. Poll Everywhere offers several advantages that support a more inclusive and flexible user experience, such as:

  • Expanded Support Resources: We have a comprehensive collection of articles and guides to help you get started and make the most of Poll Everywhere. You can explore them here: Poll Everywhere.
  • Direct Vendor Support: We can arrange meetings with the Poll Everywhere team to resolve any technical issues, request feature enhancements, or explore accessibility improvements—something not possible with Kahoot.
  • Greater Accessibility Options: Poll Everywhere allows us to advocate for and implement new accessibility features, ensuring a more inclusive experience for all participants.

Making this change will help align with broader accessibility goals and provide better long-term support for interactive tools in our learning and collaboration environments.
