The basic question asks about the effectiveness and quality of games created with the help of online
platforms and applications (such as Wordwall, Learningapps, Padlet, Jamboard, Kahoot, Quizlet, and Mentimeter) that the student can use independently and those that require the assistance of a teacher. The author analyzes the particularities of games in online classes and points out what instructors should pay attention to when conducting them.
