The LX.lab team is here to help you sprinkle a spoonful of engagement and interactivity into your classes just in time for the Spring session.
The results are in
Thank you to everyone that participated in the survey from our previous Mentimeter blog post. It was great to see that you are just as excited as we are to welcome Mentimeter to our learning technologies ecosystem.
It was interesting to see that, although the majority of UTS staff surveyed were familiar with Mentimeter, there were a large portion that had not used it before. To make Mentimeter accessible for everyone, we have tailored our resources and workshop program to make the first step as easy and effortless as possible.
In the coming weeks, as we up-skill together, we’ll reach out to our academic colleagues and organise a showcase to get you inspired. We’re hard at work putting together a showcase for September, to inspire and help create more exciting activities with Mentimeter.
