This guides describes the process of creating and running The Chase, a synchronous activity during lectures/tutorials to foster student engagement and check students' comprehension of the topics covered earlier.

The Chase allows you to paste in existing H5P content or create a variety of new content types. Similar to Kahoot!, your students will be competing in real-time. Authors may add music, change themes, and present a live leaderboard while the students are competing.

  • Self-paced - students can complete it in their own time (recommended for the students who might have missed the lecture/tutorial).

    Tip: If the question/s are easy, the time limit should be shorter.
