Sometimes, we partner with a publisher to achieve that purpose. That\u2019s why many Nearpod lesson series feature curated content from one of our many trusted publishing partners. Thanks to partnerships with organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/t\/icivics-F1035\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">iCivics<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/t\/nasa-eclips-F1060\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">NASA<\/a>, our team of lesson writers can leverage Nearpod\u2019s interactive lesson-building platform to create a learning experience around the publishing partner\u2019s curated videos, weblinks, activities, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also many thousands of Nearpod lessons in the library created entirely by the Nearpod team. You can check out <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/t\/nearpod-core-subject-lessons-F147668\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Nearpod\u2019s popular Core Subject lesson series<\/a> as one great example.

There are at least two main review stages:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-1-learning-experience-design\"><strong>Review 1: Learning Experience Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this first review stage, we focus on the instructional quality of the resource. Does the lesson achieve its stated learning objectives? Is it appropriate for the grade level? Is it standards-aligned? Does it reflect our pedagogical principles? We\u2019ll give much more detail on the Learning Experience Design stage below, but it\u2019s worth noting that this stage can take a few rounds of back-and-forth as a learning experience reviewer works with a lesson writer through drafts and revisions!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-review-2-editorial\"><strong><strong>Review 2: Editorial<\/strong><\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>After ensuring the quality, it\u2019s time for our second stage of review: editorial. Now, an editorial reviewer steps in to focus on grammar, usage, punctuation, spelling, and more. We want to be sure our content is clear and accurate, and that nothing distracts or competes for students\u2019 attention!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to these two stages, we might also enlist additional reviewers, like fact-checkers, subject matter experts, or consultants, to partner with us on specific elements that fall outside of the two stages above. We always welcome what we like to call that \u201cextra set of eyes\u201d on a lesson!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lesson-quality-at-nearpod\"><strong>Lesson quality at Nearpod<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As noted above, every Nearpod lesson receives a review for quality. The Nearpod content team refers to this as the Learning Experience Design review, or LXD for short! Our LXD reviewers receive consistent training and guidelines so that we\u2019re all looking out for the same range of elements and asking the same questions that guide our feedback. Here\u2019s a summary of a few of the major categories and questions that guide our LXD review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-guidelines-for-learning-experience-design\"><strong>Guidelines for Learning Experience Design<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Learning-objectives-for-lesson-example.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"783\" src=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Learning-objectives-for-lesson-example-1024x783.png\" alt=\"Landforms lesson slide showing learning objectives for Kindergarten\" class=\"wp-image-33699\" style=\"width:380px;height:290px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Learning-objectives-for-lesson-example-1024x783.png 1024w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Learning-objectives-for-lesson-example-300x229.png 300w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Learning-objectives-for-lesson-example-768x587.png 768w, https:\/\/nearpod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/Learning-objectives-for-lesson-example.png 1470w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Lesson: <a href=\"https:\/\/nearpod.com\/t\/social-studies\/kindergarten\/landforms-k-L88540337\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Landforms (Kindergarten)<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Standards alignment: <\/strong>Does the lesson teach the aligned standard(s) thoroughly and at the appropriate level of rigor?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Learning objectives: <\/strong>Are the lesson\u2019s stated learning objectives aligned to the standards?
