Abstract
In this paper we have proposed Kahoot as a formative assessment tool in undergraduate engineering education. A study was carried out on Third year Computer Engineering students. The study employed a Quiz followed by a Feedback Survey created through the Kahoot platform. The Quiz was based on Software Engineering Course. A total of 28 students participated in the study. The Survey showed that Kahoot enhanced Classroom engagement and promoted active learning. The students found that Kahoot was an effective, engaging tool which made learning and competing with each other fun. The Survey established Kahoot Quizzes to be more exciting compared to other Online Platforms.
