Experiences with Using Kahoot! in Control Theoretical Courses

Abstract

Kahoot! is an online learning platform used to play and share interactive learning activities, quizzes, and questions. This paper presents the experiences with using Kahoot! in control theoretical courses at the University of Stavanger, Norway. An example of how to use Kahoot! within a 2-hours review of the Laplace transform is detailed. The discussion is supported by quantitative and qualitative data collected through a questionnaire and by the lecturer's own reflections after reviewing the feedback received during the final course evaluations. The content of this paper can be relevant for lecturers of automatic control and other STEM-related courses that want to make a more extensive use of Kahoot! as an active learning tool that stimulates and engages students.
