Un'alternativa a Kahoot e Socrative: Triventy Amici appassionati di Gamification ecco a voi una risorsa didattica, utilizzabile come alternativa ai celeberrimi Kahoot!, Quizziz, Socrative. Si tratta di Triventy, ed è una piattaforma gratuita per usi didattici, con cui è possibile costruire quiz ed avviare sessioni di gioco in classe utilizzando ogni tipo di dispositivo presente, dai pc ai tablet agli smartphone. L'aspetto che rende diverso Triventy da analoghi servizi è la possibilità di invitare gli studenti a collaborare alla preparazione dei quiz. Anche in questo caso è necessario preparare le domande in un sito web (www.triventy.com/), mentre gli studenti per giocare dovranno entrare in un altro sito web (triv.in). Al termine del gioco il sistema restituisce tutti i report, domanda per domanda ed alunno per alunno, attraverso un foglio elettronico. Ecco una guida all'uso di Triventy in italiano, realizzata da Laura Antichi Articoli correlati
