CMD: How to Link to your Mentimeter in Moodle

To share your presentation in Moodle, you’ll need the direct URL from Mentimeter. You’ll find this via the “Share” button in the top right corner of your presentation. Copy the voting link. In Moodle, go to Add an Activity or Resource, and select URL. The name you give the URL will be the text the student needs to click on.

When linking, ensure that your Mentimeter has been changed to Audience Pace, from the default, Presenter Pace. Presenter Pace: useful in-room when students are responding “live”. Audience Pace: students move through the questions in their own time as they answer them (useful in-room or asynchronously).

To change pace, from your Mentimeter, go to Settings, and select the pace you want. Give the page a second to automatically save (visible just above).

Continuous Module Dialogue: Session #3 for A&H Module Leads and Teaching Admin

Continuous Module Dialogue (CMD) is a pilot for 2022/23, requiring each module to survey its students 3-4 times across the life of the module (i.e. whether across 1 term, or 2).

NOTE: Please ensure that all text in your Moodle courses referencing Continuous Module Dialogue and student feedback uses the term “Continuous Module Dialogue”, and that all references to SEQs, MEQs and other previous methods of module-level feedback are removed.

In need of fresh IDEAs?

Last year I and colleagues from Digital Education and Arena collaborated on this resource which looks at ideas for digital engagement – a broad variety of activities, scaffolds, academic and assessment literacy exercises and suchlike.

If you’re curious for strategies for group work, outlines of the workload involved in trying new tools and activities in Moodle, or simply wanted to remind yourself how many different strategies and tools you already use in your teaching, follow the link below…
