Purpose
Diagnostics (Finding out where students are at or what they already know at the beginning of a session. Adapting teaching during a session in response to their needs).
- What works (for me) in Chemistry
- Using Mentimeter in History Lectures
- Weaving Mentimeter into lecture content
- Using Mentimeter to engage students in Learn Ultra before seminars
Knowledge checking (Providing opportunities for students to test their understanding by responding to questions or engaging in competitive quiz activities).
- Using Mentimeter for engagement and interest in large two-hour lectures
- Using Mentimeter to arouse and sustain interest in Psychology lectures
- Using Mentimeter open-ended questions and MCQs to check understanding of an academic paper
- Using Mentimeter for 'flipped' workshops in Biology
- Mentimeter for Q&A and review lectures
Engagement (eg. stimulating interest, providing a means for students to take part anonymously, eliciting questions during teaching sessions).
