Abstract
Emerging technologies and mobile platforms allow the introduction of new teaching and learning strategies, in particular new ways to implement games in higher education. Kahoot! is a free platform, which can be used by teachers to develop games for classroom activities. Although this tool is the most used mobile app and one of the first to be used in education, there are no studies about its application in learning Operations Research. The objective of this paper is to evaluate Kahoot's capabilities for continuous assessment, as well as its contribution in improving students´ motivation, learning and performance in decision making tecniques. As positive outcomes we can highlight that the majority of students think Kahoot is a fun experience and that it is also useful when revising concepts. Moreover, Kahoot games increase student´engagement and provide immediate feedback for both teacher and student. In addition, results about student´s performance and motivation are presented.
