Evaluating the Impact of an Interactive Classroom Application on Student Learning Outcomes
Interactive learning environments are becoming an integral part of university education and there is increasing evidence that interactive learning has the potential to improve learning outcomes. Recently we have introduced the Nearpod interactive learning platform into several of our courses. While our experience with using an interactive learning platform is still relatively short, it is evident that interactive classroom environment can make the learning experience more rewarding for the students and at the same time lead to improved learning outcomes. Our results indicate that the effectiveness of using an interactive learning platform varies depending on the type of course and on depends on attendance pattern.
