Pros

“What I like most about Nearpod is the differentiation it offers for students in an E-Learning environment.”

Jennifer R.

Teacher

“It allows teachers to monitor students as they present information and teach new content.”

Sanaa M.

Instructor

“Also, by having the ability to have video without leaving the nearpod presentation, then I don't have students venturing to other sites as we are going over the material.”

Karly R.

Teacher

Pros

“At present, some Vevox elements, such as the respondent count box, can obscure information on our teaching template slides, requiring manual repositioning to maintain visibility of key content.”

Dr J.

Senior Lecturer

“Vevox offered a smooth, user‑friendly, and engaging experience that facilitated active participation and real‑time feedback, supporting both external use (e.g. satellite webinars and advisory boards) and internal surveys or meetings.”

Constantinos G.

medical advisor

“I primarily use the multiple-choice and word cloud features, as these closely mirror the question formats students will encounter in their assessments, helping them prepare more effectively.”

Dr J.

Senior Lecturer

Cons

“Another complaint is a few times a week, students have trouble getting the app to connect. Once students refresh, it usually fixes the issue. But having 30 students having trouble is never good.”

Parker W.

Teacher

“I don't like that the free subscription doesn't allow to use Google slides.”

Karly R.

Teacher

“I used to love them but now I see they don't value their loyal customers, they only value money.”

Nicole L.

Lecturer

Cons

“For example, participants cannot reply directly to comments or questions within the Q&A function, which can make discussions less interactive.”

Francesca C.

Lecturer in Psychology

“Limitations of the congress system in the expo centre prevented us from integrating live polls within PowerPoint slides, necessitating manual live switching between polls.”

Cathy P.

Research and Project Manager

“Vevox polls look great on the web version but when you try to create slides within a presentation they are not easy to edit/modify to adapt to your slides (so for example it is not possible to integrate the question easily within a slide with information and while it can potentially be done it takes a lot of extra work, especially because you will need to do it twice!)”

Virtu S.

Lecturer
