How can Menti be used?
Mentimeter is a web-based interactive presentation tool designed to make meetings, lectures, and events more engaging by allowing real-time audience participation. Create interactive slides with polls, quizzes, word clouds, scales, and open-ended questions.

UAL will be piloting Mentimeter for the 25/26 Academic year. Allowing staff to have full access to all the features of Mentimeter in order to gauge demand.

There are different question types in Menti. Multiple Choice: great for quizzes or quick checks. Word Cloud: perfect for brainstorming or gauging opinions. Open-Ended: useful for deeper reflections or feedback. Scales: rate agreement or confidence (e.g., “How confident are you about today’s topic?”). Ranking: prioritise topics, ideas, or preferences.

Here are some example of questions for a journalism class.

Which social media platform has the biggest impact on journalism? (Multiple choice or ranking)
Rate your understanding of media bias. (Scale)
Describe journalism in one word. (Word cloud)
What’s one question you have about today’s topic? (Open-ended)
Which headline grabs your attention most? (Image-based multiple choice)
Open-ended questions can be really good for starting a class (Entry Ticket) and at the end of a class to see what information has stuck with the students (Exit Ticket).
