Google interactive slides were developed to accompany lecture or college laboratory content for both first- and second-year nursing students in a two-year nursing program. The interactive slides were designed to enhance the material covered in lecture and lab so that students could interact with the content being taught in a versatile and accessible manner. By engaging with the slides, students were exposed to short informational videos, evidence-based articles, clinical skills, surveys, practice tests, and escape rooms where they tested their knowledge related to the content that was taught. Effectiveness was measured using formative assessment via student feedback.
