Who is this guide for?
This guide is for instructors who want to add an existing Menti presentation to their Brightspace course. The integration in Brightspace is available for Mentimeter Enterprise subscriptions.
Note: In order to add Mentis to Brightspace, you need to first install the integration. Please refer to this article for instructions on how to set this up.
Adding Menti to your course material
Once the admin setup is complete, teachers can add Mentimeter to their course.
Step 1: Add Mentimeter to course content
Enter the course
Go to Content
Create or open a module
Click Add Existing Activity
Select Mentimeter Link
Step 2: First-time account connection
The first time a teacher uses Mentimeter in Brightspace, they will be prompted to connect their Mentimeter account to their LMS account. This only needs to be done once.
Step 3: Add a presentation
After connecting:
The you will see your Mentimeter presentations
Select the desired presentation
Add it to the course
You will be asked to choose if the Menti should be anonymous or graded:
If you select Graded, students will only be able to join through the LMS and the results can be synced with the Gradebook.
If you select Anonymous, students can join using a code and interact anonymously.
The presentation will now appear inside the course module.
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).
