Collaborating on presentations with Mentimeter
By Steve Rowett, on 1 September 2021
Mentimeter (or just ‘Menti’) has been a big hit at UCL, with thousands of staff and students having used it so far for voting and polling in face-to-face and remote classes. But the one thing that everyone has wished for is the ability for a teaching team to collaborate on writing presentations.
The good news is that Mentimeter have listened to our wishes, and incorporated this into the platform. To share a presentation with UCL colleagues
- Open the presentation you want to share with colleagues
- Click on the ‘Share‘ button in the top right corner of the screen
- Click on the ‘Editors‘ tab
- Enter the UCL email addresses of the people you wish to collaborate with and select them from the drop-down menu
- Click on the ‘Invite‘ button
Collaborators will receive an email invitation and now be able to see the shared presentation in their home view. Those who you invite will now see your presentation in their list, and you can collaboratively add and edit questions to the same presentation. Mentimeter have also provided a full step-by-step guide to take you through the process.
