Dear colleagues,
I used to use Kahoot! to start classes/topics in a flipped-classroom-course and students as well as me found it very helpful to identify topics to discuss further in class. However, now you have to pay for it to do so- since it is not even possible to link to learning-management-systems as Moodle, this policy-change was a good point to look out for something new.
What do you use? What could you recommend and what not? Which tools are, especially in context of GDPR(-hysteria), useful?
THANK YOU!
Stefanie

Hi Joana,
thank you very much for your recommandation! Mentimeter is a really great tool. I love to use it for presentations. Unfortunately I got the impression it has the same limitations as kahoot when it comes to an OER-Quiz-Tool also used for grading.... however, it is great to be reminded to use it more often in other contexts! :)
All the best, Stefanie
Dear Stefanie,
have you checked ARSnova if it fulfills your needs? https://arsnova.eu/mobile/
it was mainly developed with the involvement of THM in Germany and is aware of a concept such as GDPR.

Dear Heinrich,
thank you very much, I'm going to check these tools out asap! :)
All the best, Stefanie
Update: Looks, like Kahoot! will still be available for groups up to 50 participants, with just single-choice-questions and a limited number of quizzes to be hosted by a teaching-account.
Also, arsnova is great as a quiztool & mentimeter in interactive presentations.
Prof. Stefanie Lietze,
H5P has recently integrated a plugin using HTML5 APIs in Moodle.

Dear P. Contreras, thank you!
Meanwhile we are using it as well and for self-checks in Moodle it is my favourite Plugin so far.
Update, since there has been some interest in the discussion lately: We switched to https://particify.de/, which is based on ARS Nova.
