Nearpod
Create Synchronous and Asynchronous Lessons Everyone Will Love
Faculty can use Nearpod to support student learning in a variety of ways. Give students opportunities for interaction and immediate feedback by having them draw on a map or diagram, respond to a poll question, post a note or image to a collaboration board, or take a multiple-choice quiz. Help students review key learning concepts by watching videos, reviewing notes, or taking their own notes.
Nearpod is the most comprehensive student engagement platform that makes teaching with technology easy. Nearpod's student-centric, mobile-friendly design enables faculty to connect learners and deliver highly interactive experiences - improving participation and academic effectiveness.
Deliver synchronously or asynchronously in any campus environment - lecture halls, classrooms, and via Canvas.
