Equality: Fair Work

Taking Fair Work Forward

Week 2b: Using MentiMeter to gather anonymous data in online meetings

See you on the internet?

Though many meetings are now again taking place in person, there is much to be learnt from the shift to meeting online during the pandemic.

Effective online meetings can enable more people to participate and can be helpful spaces for gathering anonymous data. And the learning from our time online can be integrated into in-person meetings, too!

For many disabled, and neurodivergent workers, online meetings can be more accessible, and this is often also the case for parents and carers, and people who live further afield.

 

In this learning, we will consider learning from online meetings and look at some examples of the types of information that can be gathered using MentiMeter. You can create your own MentiMeter account and create a draft presentation related to the topic of Autism Appropriate Workplaces. 

1. Introduction

Learning points

  • There are many tools that will let you ask questions of participants in an online meeting, and most meeting platforms now offer a version of this.
  • The benefits of using MentiMeter or similar platforms is that they produce visually pleasing presentations of your findings, which can be used for reporting and during meetings, for engagement.
  • MentiMeter has recently changed their settings to only two slides free per presentation, but you can create several presentations if you have more than two questions.
