In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, the transition from traditional face-to-face lectures to online learning, as well as the adoption of technology-enabled active learning in the classroom, has been accelerated. Here, we introduce the use of Telegram as a technological tool to support remote learning by helping students identify gaps in their content knowledge with ease and convenience. This was done by designing a quiz based on relevant topics on the Telegram Quiz Bot, while adding an element of gamification, whereby students compete in group chats for correctness and speed. Overall, the majority of the students responded positively to the use of the Telegram Quiz Bot.
