Description
Background
The University of Mississippi Medical Center (UMMC) is seeking to procure the Nearpod Interactive Lesson Platform to enhance student success in meeting course outcomes and ensuring compliance with accreditation requirements. This platform uniquely combines synchronous and asynchronous active learning, live instructional control, embedded interactive content, and immediate learner response data within a single environment.

- Immediate visibility into learner understanding for real-time instructional adjustments.
- Accessibility features designed for diverse instructional modalities, including distance education.
Nearpod supports compliance with SACSCOC standards by fostering regular and substantive interaction between instructors and learners, monitoring understanding during instruction, and adjusting teaching methods based on real-time feedback.
Period of Performance
The estimated amount to be expended for the renewal of Nearpod Premium is $45,516.74 for a period of three years.
Place of Performance
The services will be performed at the University of Mississippi Medical Center located at 2500 North State Street, Jackson, MS 39216.
