There are also two games: match (drag the correct answer) and gravity (type the correct answer as asteroids fall)." - gse.harvard.edu

Canvas
Canvas is "an LMS platform designed for the specific needs of elementary and secondary schools. The LMS enrols parents with their students to provide greater visibility into their children's learning experience and provides actionable analytics to teachers and administrators. The platform offers a host of features for virtual learning and online feedback. One of the most prominent features is the 'SpeedGrader' function which allows teachers to 'accurately and efficiency align grades on assignments and quizzes with specific outcomes using rubrics.' This allows teachers to create 'powerful and actionable reports around the standards' and topics students are able to understand and not able to understand.
Another feature is Canvas Commons which allows teachers to 'share content, assessments, even entire courses with each other' quickly and efficiently." - Wikipedia
