“…Focusing on applications of Kahoot, which is probably the most applied GSRS tool in teaching engineering lessons, we can find examples applied to a Bridge Engineering summer camp, 23 Aeronautical Engineering, 24 and Web Technologies courses. 25 In a course about fluid mechanics, 26 the group that worked on Kahoot proved to increase the passing rate in 12 points in comparison with the group there was no use.…”

In engineering courses with a large number of students, fail and dropout rates are usually high even in courses that can be expected to be interesting to the students. Gamification tools have arisen as an interesting way to motivate the students for a real continuous assessment, increasing the student’s attendance and performance. In this paper, a gamification approach based on a Kahoot tool, Moodle activities, and commemorative badges is proposed within a manufacturing course. The designed activities let the students compete among themselves to get the maximum number of points, which will be converted into extra grades that are added to the final exam grade. The gamification experience has been proven to be highly positive according to students’ and instructors’ perceptions, and the average increase of pass rate and course attendance with respect to previous years have increased from 22% to 34% and from 38% to 66%, respectively.

Classroom response systems (CRS) represent an innovative educational technology that can be used to promote active learning and student engagement. This study explores the effectiveness of CRS in enhancing student learning and performance across various engineering courses related to heat engines. During five academic years, CRS have been used weekly in six subjects that belong to two bachelor’s degrees and one master’s degree to promote continuous learning. The performance of the students in the CRS benefits the student by up to + 10% in the final mark. In this period, data from more than 1,000 students has been collected, including key performance indicators (KPIs) derived from Kahoot!, such as the number and correctness of responses and time spent answering, and other evaluations such as theory and numerical problem exams results. The objective of the study is to find the KPI that best identifies the knowledge acquisition by the students. In order to do so, the correlation of the KPI with the final exams is analysed by means of the correlation of determination and the root mean square error. The findings reveal that KPIs based on the number of questions asked exhibit stronger correlations with exam results compared to those based on responses or correctness. The study also highlights the positive impact of CRS on student engagement, classroom dynamics, and exam preparation, supported by student feedback. In essence, this research provides insights into the relationship between CRS metrics and academic outcomes, offering valuable considerations for the integration of technology in engineering education.
