This isn't a great paper. So why include it here? The abstract has zero views and it was lightly edited (if at all) by the journal editor. The authors deserve some feedback. It describes the deployment of Kahoot in a MOOC environment for students in northern Sumatra in Medan, Indonesia. Using Kahoot in response to the Covid-driven online learning mandate was a good idea. It appears to have been popular and well received. The paper should not identify student interview respondents by name. The research methods section should have included the first two sections of 'Results'. Similarly, the entire contents of the 'Discussion' section belong in the methods section, and the discussion should consider why the results were as they were and consider ways the course could be improved for next time. The illustrations were of poor quality. I encourage others to read the paper and send feedback to the authors.
