Nearpod is an online digital tool that helps instructors make any lesson interactive and allows learners to engage with activities, such as polls and quizzes, as well as embedded video and other multimedia content. The platform also works well with other resources, such as Microsoft PowerPoint and YouTube, and is an ideal resource for the gamification of information.
As Nearpod lessons are interactive, easily accessible, and conducive to simultaneous participation, the platform has become a popular option for faculty members teaching in hybrid as well as face-to-face environments.
