The demands of education in the era of the industrial revolution 5.0 are getting higher, one of which is the integration of the use of technology in learning activities. Technology has various benefits in learning, for example to help teachers create an online-based learning system through a learning management system. Learning management system allows students to learn more actively and independently. Nearpod is a learning management system that can be used for teaching. Nearpod has various advantages compared to other learning management system, for example, it is interactive. Some of Nearpod's unique features for example: easy access to Nearpod, the availability of various quiz features, and other interesting features make Nearpod a platform for online and blended learning. The purpose of this study is to see the potential of Nearpod integration in learning. Using the scoping review method, 15 selected articles were analyzed to answer research questions. The results of the study show that Nearpod integration has a positive impact on the teaching and learning process, such as: increasing interactive learning, positive student attitudes, and learning outcomes. Furthermore, teachers find it helpful when teaching using Nearpod. Lastly, Nearpod integration can potentially improve teaching efficiency. However, the use of Nearpod tends to be implemented only in science learning, even still rarely in mathematics learning. Based on Nearpod’s advantages and findings in empirical studies, Nearpod can be further explored for learning in areas including mathematics. Future work suggested is the development of Nearpod to improve the quality of learning, especially mathematics learning.
