Mentimeter helps you create polls, open and closed questions or even competitive quizzes, as well as providing a mechanism for students to pose questions or feed back to you. Mentimeter can also be used to create out of class activities that can be embedded into Moodle. There are advance features available such as PowerPoint-upload, remote clicker and data exports.
We encourage colleagues with teaching and student facing responsibilities to use Mentimeter as it offers many different types of interactive tools, and feedback from students has been extremely positive. With the institutional license we are now able to offer a consistent experience for students. If you have a University of Greenwich email, you have access to the complete Mentimeter suite. This means it is available to all staff and students as well as affiliates in the UK and overseas who have a gre.ac.uk email account.

Getting started
We recommend that you attend one of the online training sessions before you use Mentimeter for the first time. Sessions are available throughout the year, which you can find listed on the CPD calendar here. Alternatively, our growing body of University 'Empowered Presenters' and experienced users are here to support you.
You can also find support online:
- Video on how to create your first presentation
- How-to videos on the Mentimeter website
- Mentimeter YouTube channel
It is always advisable to know what the potential of anonymous voting is, including ways in which it can give a voice to those that rarely speak up. However, you should also be aware of essential strategies to put in place to pre-empt, avoid or respond to any inappropriate comments or abuses of the system.
- Guidance on pre-empting and responding to inappropriate use
- Technical guidance on pre-empting inappropriate use
Finally, you may wish to dip into the monthly newsletters from Mentimeter.
