Kahoot! is a game-based student response system (SRS). This article is a literature review of studies assessing the use of Kahoot! and whether it supports student learning. The articles compared Kahoot! with traditional learning, with group discussions, and in comparison with other tools. I applaud the authors for not selecting to include papers accessible only behind paywalls. I also like that that the review looked at more than just test results, and included things like classroom dynamics, student anxiety, and student perceptions. That said, as the authors themselves note, papers about Kahoot! specifically tend to be favourable toward Kahoot! "Of the accepted articles, 97% present mainly positive results related to Kahoot! and 8% include challenges and problems." Even so, only about two thirds reported that Kahoot! improved learning.
