Introduction

Mentimeter is an audience participation tool that lets you create interactive quizzes, polls, and Q&As to use with your students.

How to use Mentimeter

Mentimeter is a key tool for active and social learning. It is also inclusive because all students can participate in any Mentimeter activity. Mentimeter has many uses, from icebreakers, temperature and knowledge checks, formative assessment to mid-semester evaluations and mini surveys.

Designing your Mentimeter Quiz

How can I ensure that my presentation is inclusive?
Mentimeter’s guide to presenting with accessibility and inclusion in mind.
Can you mix “popular question types” with “quiz competition” slides?
Yes, you can. Mentimeter will keep track of the scores, even if popular question types are mixed in between quiz competition slides.
Is it possible to integrate Mentimeter with Aula?
This is not currently possible. However, a link to a presentation could be added onto an Aula page. Students could then click on the link and complete the quiz at their own pace (so long as the “audience pace” feature was selected, please see above on how to enable this setting).
Can you export slides out of Mentimeter?
Yes, you can. If you click “view results” and then on “download PDF” in the top right-hand corner of your presentation, you will be able to download all of the slides.
Is it possible to embed video/audio into Mentimeter?
It is only possible to embed videos, not audio slides. In addition, only videos from YouTube can be embedded, and any quiz question (hosted in Mentimeter) would need to be on another slide.
How can artificial intelligence help me create quizzes more efficiently?

How do I integrate PowerPoint with Mentimeter?
Yes, it does. You can import slides into Mentimeter, or add Mentimeter as an add-in in PowerPoint.
* This site describes the two options and has links to follow up, depending on your decision. Note that, Mentimeter creates images of PPT slides after importing and these are not editable, so you need to edit in PPT and then re-import.
* Information about adding the PowerPoint add-in is available here.
