Abstract Body: Introduction
Stroke center designation generally specifies required education for nurses. Our system provides stroke education to hundreds of nurses annually. Traditionally this education has been provided via live or remote lectures or online modules, where content is static, and students play a passive role. In that model, testing is performed at the conclusion of instructional units, known in education as summative assessment. We sought to create a learning environment that is more engaging and interactive, utilizing newer educational technologies.

Methods
We investigated educational technologies developed for the K-12 educational space. We sought a platform that would provide the ability to monitor and assess students’ performance during live lectures and provide real-time feedback. Our choice of educational tool, the Nearpod© App, enables presentation of multiple question types (single and multiple choice, matching, polls) and allows the monitoring of students’ performance in real time. We used Nearpod© to track attendance, compliance, and test responses of individual nurses.
Ninety-eight nurses took part in our educational sessions during the period of September 2020 through November 2020. Sets of multiple-choice questions were presented on a smartphone, tablet, or computer during live presentations. The responses were monitored in real-time by a member of the educational team. Based on individual and group responses, the educators were able to provide immediate feedback, adjust instruction, and emphasize material learned.

Results
The technology was easily and enthusiastically adopted by all nurses. No difficulties with technical implementation were encountered. Nurses received immediate feedback. We were able to track attendance, graph results, and provide live feedback and immediate test results to all nurses. Educators were able to assess which material required more focus and emphasize those specific topics. We achieved high compliance and competencies with our stroke specific education.

Conclusions
Educational technology tools from non-medical settings can be easily adapted to nursing education. This technology can assist nurse educators with providing hospital wide topic specific nursing education, tracking attendance and compliance, and providing live feedback. It can be easily adapted to nursing education in institutions seeking to meet the educational requirement for disease specific certification.
