Slido

I’ve been using Kahoots up until recently to run a rules and regulations quiz for our student orientation but this year I had to upgrade to a paid version so that’s not happening!

I did a bit of googling as you do and came across slido.com which offers a free basic plan which looks like it will meet my needs. I have created my first quiz and integrated it into my PowerPoint and it has a nice clean and clear interface. I have given it a practice go and it seems easy enough to use from both the tutor perspective and the student perspective. Students don’t need to sign up for anything and they can get access by using a QR code or going to the website and entering the provided number. The join information stays on the screen throughout.

Students can even ask questions throughout once they have connected to the session. The questions are displayed on the website and you can push back answers as needed.

I’m so looking forward to using it at orientation.
