Description

Mootimeter is a tool that allows you to create interactive presentations. It offers a variety of features such as word clouds, polls and quizzes. Mootimeter only uses moodle-internal functionalities and does not rely on external services. Mootimeter is a classic activity that you can add via the activity chooser to get live and instant feedback from your students. Mootimeter is a great way to make your presentations more interactive and engaging. You can customise your presentations with various features to engage classes and courses. Here are some of the features that Mootimeter offers:

  • Word clouds: create a word cloud to get feedback from your class. You can collect the answers to a question and then display them in a word cloud.
  • Polls: Create a survey to get feedback from your class. You can ask different types of questions.
  • Quiz questions: Create quiz questions to test the knowledge of your audience. 

Mootimeter deliberately does not want to compete with commercial providers. Instead, it aims to provide a low-level entry point so that core functionalities can be quickly and easily integrated into lessons. This is why there are also some didactic functions, such as limiting the answer options, an anonymous mode, a full-screen mode and the option to hide the answers from the students.

In all of this, Mootimeter relies on dynamic page loading so that no page refresh is usually necessary for students (or teachers) to see changes and updates.

Mootimeter has a subplugin structure and can therefore be easily extended with additional question types. Ideas and contributions are welcome. The discussion takes place here: https://github.com/bycs-lp/mod_mootimeter/issues
