About

Kahoodle is an activity module for live quiz sessions in which all participants take the quiz at the same time, similar to popular classroom quiz platforms. The teacher shows the questions on a shared screen, and participants answer on their own devices.

  • Real-time gameplay: all participants answer the questions simultaneously.
  • Live leaderboard: points are based on correctness and response speed.
  • Multiple rounds: run several quiz sessions with the same questions.
  • Identity modes: participants can use their real names, nicknames with avatars, or stay anonymous.
  • Question versioning: edit questions while preserving the data of past rounds.
  • Mobile-friendly: responsive design for participant devices.

How it works

  1. Add a Kahoodle activity to your course and create the questions in the Questions tab.
  2. Start a round and share your screen with the participants. The lobby displays a QR code with the activity link.
  3. Participants join with a display name and avatar.
  4. Questions advance automatically, or you can pause and advance them manually.

Requirements

  • Moodle 4.5 or higher.
  • The Real time events plugin (tool_realtime) for the real-time communication, using PHP polling or websockets.

The plugin also provides web services to create activities and add questions, so quizzes can be generated with an AI agent, for example through Moodle MCP.

Kahoodle was originally developed during DevCamp at MoodleMoot DACH 2025.
