Why Use Mentimeter?

  • Engage with all students simultaneously: Regardless of the location or number of students in a class, or thir level of comfort with participation, everyone is given a voice.
  • Encourage participation: Mentimeter responses are anonymized. By lowering the stakes of participation, even the most hesitant students may feel more comfortable engaging with and contributing to the class session.
  • Suitable for both synchronous and asynchronous teaching: You can engage with your students during live sessions or send them Mentimeter surveys before or after a session to assess prior knowledge or collect feedback
