As a crucial component of our mission, the Brigham Education Institute is dedicated to supporting our medical educators by offering access to a variety of technological platforms.

The BEI Has Been Using Two Different Types Of Mobile Audience Response Systems To Create An Interactive Classroom.

Nearpod is an interactive education technology tool that assists in bringing the classroom to life with interactive mobile presentations that educators create and customize themselves. The system includes features such as polling and quizzing, with real time responses to display within their presentations. For more information, view our short how-to video and tip sheet.

Please contact the BEI at bwhbei@partners.org if you are interested in testing NearPod.
