Description

UoS/DH/24/25/QTR3/Mentimeter RenewalUniversity of Salford -

Student Response SystemBackground - Mentimeter Renewal

Our current product in this area is up for renewal and Education Technology in DIT with colleagues in LTEC have conducted a review of Mentimeter and other Student Response Systems.

Academic Impact and Change

We have looked at the costs compared to similar comparable products and conducted a survey of current active users to find existing benefits/what could be better/what could the future look like of Mentimeter in daily academic use. A focus was placed on
what could be done differently in current academic delivery, to get the same or better classroom interactivity they have enjoyed with Mentimeter.

The request for renewal takes into consideration the impact of not renewing. That by introducing more change by moving to a different product, we risk serious impact on academic delivery and in turn our student experience and subsequent NSS returns.

Mentimeter future direction

Mentimeter as a product has a clear development pathway over the next 12 months,
evidenced by recent meetings with product team. There are coming enhancements around governance which we particularly welcome.

Proposal

On the evidence of the above work we are minded to seek a renewal for 2 years.
Previously we have purchased Mentimeter direct from the company but, we note there are official registered resellers (QBS, Phoenix Ltd, Trustmarque, Akhter, BSR Software) who are recognised by G-Cloud and CCS. Please can we check that we are getting comparable pricing from the resellers whilst being mindful that Mentimeter is set up in our systems to be purchased in US Dollars.

I am available if you require any further information.
