Abstract
This poster will be a visual display of the way Nearpod has been used so far on the undergraduate Diagnostic Radiography and
Imaging course at Ulster University. Multiple licenses for this 'app for active learning' have been held by the teaching team since
2016 and so far it has been positively received by students of all year groups. Samples of quiz results, poll results and student
drawings as well as student feedback will be displayed under the headings 'knowing, doing, being', providing a clear
demonstration of how Nearpod has been effectively used at various teaching levels[1]
.
Quizzes and app-based active learning have both been demonstrated to improve student engagement[2,3]
. It is hoped that this
poster will lead to further development of ideas and discussion within the realms of student engagement and how we can
encourage this and develop it further within the topic of Radiography. Image 1 displays year-three cohort responses when asked
how students could adapt their technique after they watched a video about a patient who lives with dementia.
