“…The findings from this study are consistent with those from Vallely and Gibson (2018), Andriani et al (2019), Puspa and Imamyartha (2019), Anggriani et al (2022). In this regard, the study by Quiroz Canlas et al (2020) focuses on a number of advantages of integrating the Mentimeter into the computer science lecture, including the application's ease of use, increased participation in class, freedom to express oneself without worrying about coming off as stupid, remembering earlier topics, remembering the key points of the conversation, overcoming boredom, and providing instantaneous feedback on learning. All of these have also been noted by the teachers who participated in our study.…”

“…The seventh is remembering the key points of the conversation. Eighth grade, participation in class, and overcoming boredom by providing instantaneous feedback on learning is the ninth (Quiroz Canlas et al, 2020). Likewise, Iqbal et al (2021) investigated students' perspectives by administering a survey to students in higher education to assess the potential of the Audience Response System (ARS) to improve learning, participation and involvement, sociability, and motivation.…”

The present research aimed to evaluate teachers’ attitudes toward the use of the Mentimeter platform in synchronous education. This study also sought to delve into teachers’ perspectives on the role of the Mentimeter platform in improving students’ engagement in online synchronous classes. To that end, the study was carried out in Palestine in response to the ongoing shift to synchronous online teaching to raise teachers’ consciousness about the importance of using online tools to boost students’ engagement and make them feel connected in synchronous classes. A quantitative approach was used to collect data, and 44 Palestinian teachers from various educational institutions completed closed-ended questionnaires. The study’s outcomes demonstrated that teachers had positive attitudes toward employing the Mentimeter platform in synchronous education. The results also indicated that almost all educators perceived that the Mentimeter platform serves a vital role in increasing student engagement in online synchronous sessions. Teachers asserted that Mentimeter presentation styles decrease the probability of boredom among students, which in turn encourages them to actively participate in online synchronous classes. Enhancing students’ engagement in online synchronous classes was still a main challenge for educators. Therefore, to increase students’ involvement in synchronous learning environments, it is necessary to regularly train the teaching staff of schools, learning institutions, and colleges in the use of Mentimeter. Future studies in Palestine and other countries are also recommended to simultaneously concentrate on teachers’ and students’ viewpoints.

“…The online survey was distributed to a targeted group of experts based on the authors' networks, authors of publications in the field, and disseminated to participants in relevant events. During several workshop sessions, an online interactive tool (Mentimeter [44]) was used to capture the feedback of users, by replying to questions or statements from a mobile phone or other devices. During data collection, the term 'slum' was used, as it is widely understood by users based on the definition of UN-Habitat [45].…”

Spatial Information Gaps on Deprived Urban Areas (Slums) in Low-and-Middle-Income-Countries: A User-Centered Approach

et al. 2021

Routine and accurate data on deprivation are needed for urban planning and decision support at various scales (i.e., from community to international). However, analyzing information requirements of diverse users on urban deprivation, we found that data are often not available or inaccessible. To bridge this data gap, Earth Observation (EO) data can support access to frequently updated spatial information. However, a user-centered approach is urgently required for the production of EO-based mapping products. Combining an online survey and several forms of user interactions, we defined five system specifications (derived from user requirements) for designing an open-access spatial information system for deprived urban areas. First, gridded maps represent the optimal spatial granularity to deal with high uncertainties of boundaries of deprived areas and to protect privacy. Second, a high temporal granularity of 1–2 years is important to respond to the high spatial dynamics of urban areas. Third, detailed local-scale information should be part of a city-to-global information system. Fourth, both aspects, community assets and risks, need to be part of an information system, and such data need to be combined with local community-based information. Fifth, in particular, civil society and government users should have fair access to data that bridges the digital barriers. A data ecosystem on urban deprivation meeting these requirements will be able to support community-level action for improving living conditions in deprived areas, local science-based policymaking, and tracking progress towards global targets such as the SDGs.

“…Teachers can register at https://www.mentimeter.com and use various features that the platform offers like making an 'interactive presentation'. This platform is mainly used in higher education to convey the lecturing of the theoretical sessions in courses to more engaging and interactive discussions (Quiroz Canlas et al, 2020).…”

The rapid development in technology and information has inspired educators to explore innovative technological resources and assets to promote the quality of teaching and learning. Student Response Systems (SRS) have been acknowledged as having a significant influence on student engagement, motivation, and overall achievement. This scoping review investigated the integration of Mentimeter in the educational context to determine its effectiveness for both teaching and learning processes. The included studies were screened for only those that investigated the use of Mentimeter in the classroom, while including peer-reviewed journal articles, conference proceedings, short articles, book chapters, and review articles from 2015 to 2022 that were available in English without limitation on discipline. The 57 publications that met the eligibility criteria were coded for various characteristics, the most significant of which are discipline, geographical region, publication type, research method and outcomes. Our results reveal the numerous merits gained from integrating Mentimeter in educational settings, including: 1) benefits not only to enriching student-centered pedagogy, but also encapsulating a diverse audience of cultural backgrounds and competencies; 2) providing immediate feedback for anonymous student responses; 3) enhancing student motivation; 4) engaging students’ active participation. The results of this study provide initiatives for teachers and educational researchers to conduct further research on various educational technology platforms, and highlight the advantages of integrating technology into the educational setting. While teachers and practitioners persevere to transform the learning experience through technology, we emphasize the necessity for continuous research to investigate different learning platforms that considerably improve learning outcomes.
