Abstract: (1) This document explores the impact of an interactive learning platform on students’ academic performance through a teaching innovation project. (2) The study involved 127 students in financial economics and accounting courses at a Spanish university. Preliminary and post-learning phase surveys, along with instructor evaluations, were conducted to assess students’ expectations, satisfaction, and performance using the Kahoot platform. The data underwent analysis using PLS-SEM and multivariate techniques. (3) Remarkably, 42.5% of students achieved high academic performance, surpassing their average scores. Notably, those who enjoyed using Kahoot and had higher expectations showed significantly higher performances (48.3% vs. 26.4% and 64.1% vs. 18.3%, respectively). These results highlight the positive impact of perceived usefulness on satisfaction and academic performance. The study also emphasizes the moderating role of students’ enjoyment in enhancing satisfaction and learning outcomes through Kahoot. (4) The document concludes with insights into students’ motivation to use Kahoot and its effectiveness in improving learning outcomes, providing valuable implications for interactive learning platforms in education.
