At best amelioration of the problem may be constrained. One app that may be useful is "Pocket" -  in essence a news/data clipping service that helps accumulate material or teaching, learning and reseasch purpose.

I chose this site as it takes a pretty 'dry' resource (ten lists of the most common academic words) and allows students to see these in context as part of interesting articles - then test their use of these through gap fill excercises and concordance line questions which show patterns of use. Usefully, the gap fills have the ability to allow students to scale the difficulty of their excercises. I intend to use the site with my support class for students who have experienced recent academic failure, many of whom have English as a second language or are very new to   tertiary study.]]> 2017-07-17 06:39:50 UTC https://padlet.com/learningandteaching1/orqso3a7x4cn/wish/178835749 renata10 https://padlet.com/learningandteaching1/orqso3a7x4cn/wish/179240507 If you would like to add a playful element to closing knowledge gaps but find it hard to get started on Kahoot, these may help:
1. Don't know how to design questions? There are thousands of quizzes in the Kahoot quiz pool, which means that you can search for quizzes relevant to your topic and then just need to tweak!
2. Worried about the technical side of using Kahoot? There are several instructional videos on YouTube, such as this one: ttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gt_TGbllnRQ]]> 2017-07-23 05:09:53 UTC https://padlet.com/learningandteaching1/orqso3a7x4cn/wish/179240507
