    Thank you again for the training, I found it very helpful and interesting and I really enjoyed it overall.

  2. Sunil Patel says:

    The course was very helpful in identifying the types of people that do come across the helpdesk and how to approach and deal with them.

    Personally I felt that the kahoot tests after a few modules would have been better if it was done at the very end. This way you go through the materials and then a kahoot quiz to reinforce where you fall short and then to go over that material again. The kahoot quiz, though efficient, it is easy to not press save due to the option you get as a participant. It gives an option to go over wrong answers but pressing this causes the save option to go away and then you have no access to the quiz any more. It might be easier to simply read the questions and present the multiple choice answers as part of the presentation, this way it can be recorded and made available to students.
