What is this programme about?

 

Education and training are increasingly taking place online. One of the challenges of online learning is that some of the benefits of face to face learning, such as interactivity and collaborative learning, could be lost, or play a lesser role in the educational experience.

Nearpod is an online instructional platform designed to enhance Full Online Learning (FOL) delivery for both teachers and students. Aimed at increasing engagement, Nearpod provides an array of digital tools to assist in lesson planning, activity creation, and resource management. From the student’s perspective, it also provides opportunities for interactive activities such as quizzes and polls, in addition to a variety of other engaging learning opportunities such as Virtual Field Trips and games customised to specific learning objectives. The platform also integrates seamlessly with other Learning Management Systems (LMSs) such as Canvas and Google Classroom, in addition to Google Drive and Google Slides.

This programme consists of two sessions*. Session 1 (Using Nearpod to Enhance Full Online Learning (FOL) Experience), is a 90-minute introduction to the basic features of Nearpod, covering what the platform can do and the way in which it can be used to enhance interactivity in FOL situations. Session 2 (Experience Use of Nearpod To Design Interactive Online Learning) is a three-hour hands-on workshop, giving you the opportunity to gain practical experience of Nearpod, under the guidance of an experienced facilitator. You will learn how to integrate Nearpod with other resources and lesson plans, in order to adapt your existing teaching material and create an engaging FOL experience. This will be supported by opportunities for both peer and facilitator feedback. By integrating Nearpod with your existing teaching practice, you will be able to create collaborative and interactive learning opportunities for your students, and be equipped to deliver high-quality FOL training which is both engaging and relevant.

*Please note, in order to attend Session 2, participants must first have completed Session 1.
