Using Nearpod to Facilitate Live and Remote Sessions

Tom Langston and Stuart Sims

11.15am to 12.15pm

This session will look at how Nearpod has traditionally been used as an in class tool, however the applications of it being used outside the “traditional” classroom to facilitate engagement. This tool will work seamlessly between both modes of delivery and this session demonstrates those opportunities while reworking teaching materials into the new course format and template. The session will look at the principles of designing resources and what Nearpod does to help us produce materials that are easy to create, and simple for a student to use.

Session Aims

The aims of this session are to:

• Demonstrate how to use Nearpod to construct asynchronous activities

• Help you to consider what activities work well together

• Consider how many activities should be used

• Provoke your thoughts surrounding what you are trying to achieve before you start creating the resources
