Learning Design Summer Camp Breakout Session: Nearpod

An interesting take on interactive presentations that appear to be best suited for resident use. There are affordances for online delivery and faculty-learning design office support models. Unfortunately, the feature set really depends upon a paid license.

  • Website or app available
  • Allows for sharing presentations, even if the instructor doesn’t want to control the presentation
  • Lessons can be packaged and self-paced for online use
  • You can give students a code to enter the lesson, it is a way to track participation
  • You can use PowerPoint to build your presentations
  • Keeps metrics on if people drop out
  • Features Polleverywhere-like polling
  • Is there a way to keep notes within Nearpod?
  • There is a free and paid version available – actually there are four levels; Gold is limited to 50 students, Institutional levels allow for large 100+ students
  • There is a collaboration board feature as well – other features: quiz, draw it, FITB, memory test
  • How would we support Nearpods in our WC Online Delivery Course format; Cheryl doesn’t know, it’s not clear if a designer can create a Nearpod and share it with an instructor for use in their live course section
