KitCollab rebuilt from the ground up!

We added KitCollab to Gimkit three years ago, allowing your students build a kit together in real-time. Today, we're launching a brand new version of KitCollab, rebuilt from the ground up.

With the new KitCollab, you can collaborate in real-time, or asynchronously!

Have all your students together? Have them contribute questions, approve or reject those questions in real-time, & start the game!

Or...send a link to students and have them contribute questions on their own time. Then check back a few days later and add those contributed questions to your kit.

With the new KitCollab, how, where, and when you use it is up to you!

What's better?

Real-time or Asynchronous

Before, KitCollab could only be used when you and your students were all ready to collaborate together. Now, you can enable KitCollab, share the link, and return whenever you're ready to approve & reject questions. KitCollabs can now take place in the classroom with everyone working together at once, or over time at everyone's convenience.

KitCollab with other teachers

The old KitCollab was an experience only students could participate in. Now that KitCollab is no longer connected to the live game experience, you can use it to create kits collaboratively with anyone.

Question creation

Students now have the ability to create Text Input questions, as well as questions with multiple correct answers!

Flexibility

The KitCollab experience is completely detached from the live game experience! This removes old limits like KitCollab not being available for certain game modes, and makes way for KitCollab to be used alongside everything new we're working on!

What're the tradeoffs?

KitCollab used to be connected to the live game experience. You could run a KitCollab and then jump right into a game because you had already started hosting a game and your students had already joined. Now, you need a few more clicks in order to host a game after your KitCollab is finished.

We think this tradeoff is worth the benefits, especially being able to use KitCollab asynchronously and with other teachers. But it'll take some time to get used to, which we totally understand.

What else?

This change sets the groundwork for some exciting new things we have in development — all leading to our most exciting update ever!
