Gamified Research Quiz
The Department of Library at St. Joseph Vaz College, Cortalim successfully organized an engaging Quiz Activity for the F.Y and S.Y B. Sc students on “Basic Research” through Kahoot!, an innovative digital game-based student response system. The event was held on 3rd September 2025 at 12:15 p.m. in the college seminar hall.
Kahoot! provides a dynamic platform that enables teachers and learners to interact through competitive knowledge games using existing infrastructure. During the session, students were seated in five groups and participated enthusiastically. Questions were displayed on the shared screen, and teams engaged in discussions before responding via their mobile devices. This interactive format not only encouraged active participation but also promoted collaborative learning and peer interaction.
The competition saw spirited involvement from all groups, with Team Ros Omlette emerging as the winners. The team comprised the following participants: Tushar Mandrekar, Alton Paes, Tanmay Kankoniar, Adesh Yadav, Reagan Rodrigues.
The activity was aimed at familiarizing students with the basics of research while simultaneously introducing them to new technology-based learning modes. By blending academic content with gamification, the initiative successfully fostered curiosity and
enthusiasm towards research among students.
