I thought this was a fun question to think about before the weekend:
I had a faculty member ask this question, along with the addition of, "Can Canvas do this?" Not natively, of course, but perhaps someone here has thought of a work-around or found an app or LTI that can integrate with Canvas (or not) that could fit this use case. It would need to:
- Record who has buzzed in first in response to a question (along the lines of Jeopardy)
- Communicate this information clearly
- Be cheap, preferably free
Tara, the first application that comes to mind is Kahoot (Making Learning Awesome! - Kahoot! ) which works almost exactly as you've described. The awesome Kelley L. Meeusen has figured out a way to embed it in Canvas (Has anyone ever embedded/used a Kahoot in Canvas? ). And, it is free.
