Mentimeter: a Polling Tool for Student Engagement

Polling can change students from passive listeners to active participants who provide feedback and converse with peers and instructors. Dahlgren Memorial Library’s Instructional Technology Design and Development (ITDD) division is offering a workshop to introduce a polling tool available for face-to-face and online classes:

• Mentimeter: an online polling tool to create interactive presentations that allow an unlimited number of students to answer questions and polls anonymously, and participate in competition quizzes using any device

Participants in this workshop will learn how to use the polling tool for classroom activities to engage students, such as icebreakers, class discussions, and competitions. This workshop will offer demonstrations of the main features of the tool, including how to create and launch polls, and hands-on activities.

Registration and participation require a georgetown.edu, gunet.georgetown.edu, or medstar.netemail address. The Zoom link for this workshop will be provided in your registration confirmation email.

Additional instructional technology workshops from DML are accessible here.
