How do I post a Mentimeter survey to my course?

You will learn how to post a Mentimeter survey in your Canvas course, so that your students can respond to the survey and you can then view the survey results.

Follow these steps after you have finished creating your Mentimeter survey which uses Question pages (not Quizzes). Be sure to set the presentation (survey) for Audience pace and to hide the results (if desired). Audience pace is a must; otherwise, students will not be able to respond to the survey questions. Use the Share button in Mentimeter to create a link for your students.

Enter your Canvas course and create a new Page, Assignment, Discussion or External URL.

Since the easiest way to share a survey with your students is via a link, you can paste that link in any Rich Content Editor (meaning Page, Assignment, or Discussion) or you can use the External URL feature to create a direct link to your Mentimeter survey.
