OSLO,
Norway, Oct. 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Kahoot!, the
global learning and engagement platform company, today announced it
has earned the Gold certification for Equity by the
International Certification of Evidence of Impact in Education
(ICEIE).
"Since Kahoot! launched over ten years ago, we have been driven
by our mission to make learning awesome, across all ages, settings,
languages, and abilities," said Sean

experiences for everyone. Achieving Gold in Equity by the ICEIE
speaks to our success in fostering equity throughout our product

Advancing equity in education technology
The ICEIE validates evidence-backed solutions globally using
independent research and evidence, making it easier for teachers
and educational institutions to discover high quality learning
tools. In their evaluations, the ICEIE reviews EdTech solutions'
impact in five areas (Efficacy, Effectiveness, Ethics, Equity, and
Environment). This latest certification for Kahoot! follows the
earning of the Silver badge in Effectiveness and the Gold
badge in Efficacy earlier this year, which recognized Kahoot!
as an evidence-based solution that improves learning
outcomes. The Gold badge in Equity now also validates Kahoot! as a
digital learning solution committed to equity in education.
The ICEIE's Equity certification is based on rigorous criteria,
including product design incorporating inclusive features,
transparent user engagement and responsiveness, and equitable
implementation to accommodate diverse learners. Kahoot! has shown
dedication to these goals through years of user-centric product
development, driven by the mission to make learning awesome for
all.
