What are the Mentimeter templates?

Overview

Mentimeter is a cloud-based polling tool to interact with students through presentations in real-time using a mobile phone or other device connected to the internet. Mentimeter visualises the response data from participants which can be displayed live but it can also be hidden until all students have submitted a response.

For more information about the presentation content types, please read the following article.

In this article, we will show you the templates that are available within Mentimeter which you can use if you do not wish to create a presentation from scratch.

Themes in Mentimeter

Designing and styling a Mentimeter presentation is just as important as building well-structured content in order to engage the audience.

As such, the company has created many themes that you could use as a layout for your presentation, which are separated into two categories. You can access these themes once you opened a presentation and clicked on the ‘Themes’ sub-menu in the right-hand navigation bar.

1. Organisation themes

2. Default themes

For more information about changing the theme of your presentation, please visit the Mentimeter support site.

You can also create your own theme if you click on the blue button where it says ‘+Create new theme’.

You would be able to customise the following features/elements:

• name and logo of the theme,
• background type (which could be an image or a chosen color) and background opacity,
• font type and font color, and
• visualisation color which would be used for graphics, separating lines, buttons, and many more.

Examples in Mentimeter

In addition to the available Mentimeter themes, you can also add a pre-design slide to your presentation depending on the content type you are using. You can access these examples once you opened a presentation and clicked on the ‘Examples’ sub-menu in the right-hand navigation bar.

There are more than 150 examples available within the tool which are separated into the following categories:

• Purpose (‘Training’, ‘Education’, ‘Icebreaker’, ‘Prioritise’, ‘Brainstorm’, ‘Just for Fun’, ‘Evaluation’, ‘Check-in’, ‘Facilitate Decisions’, ‘Create Discussions’, and ‘Leadership’),
• Type of input (’Select option(s)’, ‘Free-text Responses’, ‘Quiz competition’, and ‘Rating’), and
• Audience size (’Small (1-25)’, ‘Medium (25-100)’, ‘Large (100-500)’, and ‘Extra Large (500+)’).
