Why look for a Mentimeter alternative?

Mentimeter is built around interactive presentation: you build slides that contain polls, word clouds, scales. It's very effective to liven up a conference or a meeting.

But pedagogical facilitation isn't limited to a presentation. EduTools adds game-mode quizzes, the whiteboard, interactive videos, self-paced paths and a classroom where everything stays accessible — all in a French platform.

Polls, word cloud… and much more

EduTools offers the interactions that made Mentimeter a success: live poll, opinion scale, word cloud projected in real time. Your participants answer from their phone, without installation.

The difference: these interactions fit into a platform that also handles assessment (quizzes, fill-in-the-blanks), collaboration (kanban, mind map, sticky notes) and individual tracking of participants.

Mentimeter is a Swedish platform specialised in interactive presentation and live polls. EduTools is a French platform that integrates these functions into a more complete set of pedagogical and collaborative tools.
