Understanding Menti's Interactivity settings in Brightspace
Participant names are required
This setting will ask students to enter their name in order to participate. This must be enabled if you want to sync grades to Brightspace. Disable it if you want participation to be anonymous.
Participants are required to log in
When enabled, this setting will only allow students to participate in the Menti from their Brightspace interface. If they try to participate by other means (like scanning the QR code on their phones), they will be instructed to join via Brightspace.
Step 4: Sync results to the Brightspace Gradebook
Once students have participated you can:
Open the Mentimeter activity
Confirm that responses have been received and go to the Results tab
Click the Sync to LMS button
Choose whether you want to track attendance or participation:
Once this is done, go to your course Gradebook and you'll see the new grade column. Students who participated will receive credit (e.g., 100% for full participation).
