5 Viewing and Downloading Nearpod Reports
Nearpod generates a report of every student who signs into your lesson, what activities they complete in the lesson (participation %), and what score they achieve in each activity (score %).
You can generate Nearpod reports for the whole session – this report is organized by activity, and shows you a list of what each student responded beneath each activity heading.
You can also generate Nearpod reports for an individual student – this report is reflective of a single student’s participation in the lesson. It gives you their overall participation % and score %, as well as a breakdown of how they responded to each activity.
To view a Nearpod report:
- Go to nearpod.com and log into your account.

Reports are a great way to see how students are engaging with the content, gauge/grade participation, and hypothesize where students may be struggling.
Also, be aware that in student-paced lessons, students can go back and re-complete activities. This is a great option for knowledge saturation, but could positively skew some of the results. Some students may also log in to view the lesson multiple times, but only do the activities the first time they view the lesson, which could negatively skew some of the results.
The bottom line? Always take the final percentages with a grain of salt.
