Abstract: 

As institutions increasingly expand hybrid and blended learning options, educators must innovate and adapt to meet students where they are with creative instructional solutions. How are instructors effectively maintaining classroom continuity and building connectedness across multiple modalities without compromising learner outcomes? During this presentation you will learn how Nearpod’s multiple-solution platforms allows faculty to create interactive lessons, improve engagement, and limit distraction across in-person, online, and asynchronous settings.

Extended Abstract: 

The call for colleges and universities to meet students where they are and effectively serve them across multiple modalities continues to grow quickly. The pandemic acted as a catalyst for institutions to adapt to hybrid, HyFlex, and blended environments for their learners. This shift in learning environments requires educators to innovate and adapt teaching practices and technologies while not sacrificing learner performance.

Regardless of participation mode, maintaining consistent pedagogies, supporting equivalent learning outcomes, and hearing from all students are often top of mind for educators promoting equity and inclusion in the classroom. Implementing multiple-solution engagement tools, like Nearpod, enable instructors to both reach their students and ensure their voices are heard through interactive slides, dynamic media, formative assessments, and more.

During this Discovery Session, Amy Young, Nearpod Regional Sales Manager- Higher Education will discuss a successful hybrid instructional experience highlighting the proven Nearpod multiple-solution platform. Ms. Young will share classroom examples and strategies to increase participation, unlock learning insights, and improve student and course outcomes across online, in-person, and asynchronous settings.
