UCL Learning Portfolio

This course is aimed at staff who wish to learn the basics of Mentimeter and how to use it for Continuous Module Dialogue (CMD). Mentimeter is a powerful online questioning tool that can be used to support student interaction and active learning in both synchronous and asynchronous teaching. UCL is piloting the use of Mentimeter as an informal continuous evaluation tool. UCL has a site license for this tool. Find out more here: Mentimeter Resource Centre.

In this practical workshop you will learn the basics of setting up interactive activities and using the templates on Mentimeter. You will also find out how to embed Mentimeter on a website or a Moodle course and manage student interaction.

Once you have booked on the course you will be able to access all of the online materials in our Digital Skills Development Moodle course.
