Add some Mentimeter polls/quizzes? #27

Closed graeme-a-stewart closed 10 months ago

graeme-a-stewart commented 10 months ago

As we have a tough engagement issue here, with most interested people being on Zoom, I thought we could scatter a few mentimeter polls and quizzes into the tutorial.

The hope would be that by soliciting some audience feedback we'd keep people interested/awake.

this would also be useful for deciding discussion priorities for many session, do you know how to set it up?

graeme-a-stewart commented 10 months ago

I signed up and I am playing around with it now (at least as much as I can on a weak internet connection on the train!)

Yes, Mentimeter is an excellent idea, I wanted to bring it up in the last meeting but forgot about it.

Should we collect some questions here?

tamasgal commented 10 months ago

I just realised that the free plan has some limitations (50 participants/month), if I understood correctly.

The wording is interesting - it says you can go over the limit in a single presentation, after which your account blocks until you upgrade.

tamasgal commented 10 months ago

Yes, kind of sounds like you have only one chance to get it right ;) Btw. they only offer yearly payments, or at least that's the only option I could find...

graeme-a-stewart commented 10 months ago

I have done some really simple quiz questions for the first part of the tutorial tomorrow. Let's suck it and see...

If anyone else wants to use it, I suggest they sign up independently, in case it's a one-shot wonder tomorrow morning!

This was done and it worked. I think it was quite successful as it's a nice pace changer and re-engager after people have been listening to a lecture for some time. Still, it definitely worked better for people in the room - these were pretty much experts, but the discussion was fun. It's just really hard in a hybrid event to engage with the remote participants as much.

Next time I would probably use it more interspersed between each of the sections (but on the day I really didn't want to break anything as were were delivering the material).
