Nearpod Pilot Applications

Nearpod Pilot

This coming academic year we will be running a small pilot looking at the use of Nearpod in lectures and seminars.

*There are a limited number of places on the pilot.

What is Nearpod?

Nearpod is a mobile app and web based presentation tool which uses the web/wireless network to enable tutors to deliver and send presentations to their students’ devices, set interactive tasks and display static content as well as videos.

A demonstration can be seen here

Highlights of Nearpod:

• the ability to send interactive presentations to your students’ devices (they can zoom in on images in the presentation so that they can see detail – you control what they see)
• the ability to allow students to draw on their devices, and for you to see all the drawings and share with the rest of the class
• the ability to provide immediate feedback to students in sessions
• the ability to receive student responses immediately
• the ability to produce response reports
