Case Study: Higher Colleges of Technology achieves more engaging online learning with Nearpod

Higher Colleges of Technology delivers 270,000 student lessons with Nearpod

Higher Colleges of Technology, a higher education institution in the UAE, faced challenges in transitioning from traditional lecture-based teaching to a more interactive strategy across its 16 campuses. They needed to ensure student comprehension and engagement, particularly after moving to a fully online learning environment. To address this, they implemented the interactive presentation platform from their technology partner, Nearpod.

The solution involved a district-wide license for Nearpod, supported by extensive professional development from the college's Teaching with Technology team. This allowed faculty to create engaging, interactive lessons. The measurable impact was significant; usage grew from approximately 1,000 lessons with 19,000 student joins in September 2019 to over 3,000 lessons with 61,500 joins in September 2020. Since March 2020, instructors launched about 14,600 lessons for over 270,000 students, making Nearpod an invaluable tool for the institution.
