Nearpod

Nearpod is an interactive teaching platform for K-12 and higher-education classrooms, part of Renaissance.

Nearpod connects to major LMS and rostering platforms (Google Classroom, Microsoft Teams, Canvas, Schoology, Clever, ClassLink) via LMS/LTI integrations, but publishes no public developer REST API.
