CBT Nuggets
CBT Nuggets is well suited for people who need
to learn in nuggets/small packets, business professionals on the run, and those
who need modular content for a wide range of topics. This is also suitable for
people/employees looking for upskilling, certification exams, or business growth.
It is also suited to large organizations that want to upskill their workforce.
This might not be suited for people looking for supplementary content, or people
attending regular in-class educational/training, sessions as this provides
comprehensive content rather than supplementary content. Also not suited for those who are looking for written materials for training like
books, notes, ppt, etc.

Nearpod is great for teachers who want data to help gauge how engaged students are during lessons. Additionally, teachers in one-to-one schools can better use these tools with a lesson delivery system like Nearpod. Nearpod is especially effective when a presenter has to deliver information to a large class.

While there is some learning curve to fully understand and know how to lead a lesson with Nearpod, once mastered successfully, Nearpod lessons are simple to create and deliver. When leading a lesson, it is relatively simple to see how everyone in the class performs and how well they participate and understand.

The support staff for Nearpod is top-notch. I have not had technical issues, but I did have a concern about my bill and they reached out to me nearly immediately to address the problem. I was very satisfied with how they handled the interaction from beginning to end. They did a great job.

I don't know of a product off hand that does what Nearpod can do. Between the library of pre-made lessons, the ability to create your own lesson content, the ability to add interactive content, Nearpod offers a unique engagement platform for instruction
