Interactive lesson platform enabling teachers to deliver engaging multimedia lessons with embedded formative assessments.
Nearpod is a Hollywood, Florida-based edtech company that provides teachers with tools to create and deliver interactive digital lessons. Teachers build presentations that include videos, 3D models, virtual reality field trips, simulations, polls, quizzes, and collaborative boards, then launch them to student devices in synchronous or student-paced modes. Every student interaction is captured and reported back to the teacher, combining lesson delivery and formative assessment in a single platform. Nearpod has a library of over 20,000 pre-built lessons across all subjects and grade levels, reducing teacher preparation time. The platform is used by over 7 million teachers globally and integrates with Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, and major LMS platforms. Nearpod was acquired by Renaissance Learning in 2021, joining a portfolio of reading and math assessment tools, but continues operating as an independent brand with strong teacher adoption.
