To make the most of Mentimeter in your teaching or staff sessions, keep these best practices in mind:
1. Keep Questions Clear and Concise
- Use simple language and avoid jargon.
- Make sure the question is easy to understand at a glance.
- Test your questions beforehand if possible.
2. Encourage Participation
- Explain the purpose of using Mentimeter at the start of your session.
- Reassure participants that their responses are anonymous (unless you’ve enabled identification).
- Let them know how their input will be used – e.g., to guide discussion or gather feedback.
3. Use Results to Foster Discussion
- Don’t just show the results — talk about them!
- Ask follow-up questions based on the responses.
- Use the data to spark deeper conversations or clarify misunderstandings.
Tips for UAL Staff:
- Consider using Mentimeter at the start, middle, and end of sessions to check understanding and engagement.
- Use open-ended questions to gather qualitative feedback.
- Save and review results to inform future planning or curriculum development
