User Testimonials
	Cengage WebAssign	Nearpod
Likelihood to Recommend	Cengage Cengage WebAssign is similar to other online textbook softwares I've used while teaching accounting online. It's a stable platform and seems easy for students to use, even if they are not extremely computer savvy. Incentivized Mary McElderry, CPA Adjunct Accounting Instructor Read full review	Renaissance Learning 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. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Pros	Cengage No answers on this topic	Renaissance Learning Provide timely and individualized feedback. Allow for the teacher to check for understanding, for the entire class, in one view. Present an array of different interactive lesson items, at the fingertips of every student. Incentivized Mike Rich Director of Innovation Read full review
Cons	Cengage No answers on this topic	Renaissance Learning I would love Nearpod to have more free activities. I would love Nearpod to be free for educators. I would love if teachers could assign homework on Nearpod. Incentivized Isha Gangopadhaya First grade teacher Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Cengage No answers on this topic	Renaissance Learning Goal is to continue our subscription for the 2019-2020 school year Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	Cengage No answers on this topic	Renaissance Learning 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. Incentivized PH Peter Hemingway Teacher Read full review
Support Rating	Cengage No answers on this topic	Renaissance Learning 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. Incentivized CW Carl Winter Teacher Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Cengage I think all of these softwares are fairly similar in set up and ease of use. I am provided Cengage WebAssign with my pre-built SNHU courses. Incentivized Mary McElderry, CPA Adjunct Accounting Instructor Read full review	Renaissance Learning 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 Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	Cengage No answers on this topic	Renaissance Learning The impact is awesome. It gives students a digital option other than PowerPoint for presentations. The feedback tool allows you to follow students in realtime. The shallow learning curve made it easy encourage other faculty to try it. Trent Slaton Instructional Technology Support Read full review
