Socrative is a Managed Use audience participation tool for creating interactive content for your students. If you are looking for a tool supported by the University, please consider Mentimeter instead.
Introduction
Turn every lecture into a two-way exchange by hosting quizzes, surveys, team activities, competitions and more. Socrative offers several tools which can make your sessions with students more interactive and engaging.
Through collecting students responses and feedback, you can track students progress. This will help you tailor your teaching as you go along, and helps you maximise contact time with your learners.
You can learn more on the Socrative website.
