Abstract:
With Mentimeter you can build interactive presentations with an easy-to-use online editor, directly from your browser. Add questions, polls, quizzes, slides, images, GIFs and more to your presentation to make them more engaging and fun. When you present, your students use their smartphones or laptops to connect to the presentation where they can answer questions, give feedback and much more. Now a campus license for academic staff and students to use Mentimeter for facilitating work and study is available. With login via an HKU account, you can unlock all pro features on Mentimeter.

During this session we will:

  • Go through what Mentimeter is and how it can further enhance the teaching and learning experiences at HKU;
  • Cover how to create a safe, positive and engaging learning atmosphere;
  • Show you how to use Mentimeter for formative assessment, building better understanding and how to collect feedback, preferences and needs from your students;
  • Demo the platform and showcase important settings to remember, as well as valuable tips and tricks on how to become a confident presenter.

Colleagues and students are very welcome to sign up for this webinar. You will be able to ask questions throughout the full hour. We look forward to seeing you there!
