Why would I use Mentimeter?

Mentimeter is an online tool which can enhance your teaching to provide an active learning environment. Students can participate in real time which will ask for them to show their knowledge of a topic, their personal opinion, how they rate something, spark discussion in live sessions or be used to evaluate knowledge as an exit activity to a session.

The anonymity of the tool increases engagement as this takes down the barrier of being singled out for 'not knowing something'.

Please view this recorded webinar 'Getting Started with Mentimeter' which provides a comprehensive overview of the features and the variety of ways in which the tool can be used:
