Key features
Hardware setup is easy
Whatever your hardware choice, you will configure it in minutes using TurningPoint's hardware wizard. All ResponseCards now come with USB receivers making them extremely simple to install.
Easy to use and fast
TurningPoint is easy to use and works so fast that it feels safe to use in even very large lecture theatres with hundreds of students.
Merge Wizard combines different results in one data source
If you work with a number of tutorial groups you can ask questions to all the different groups and then merge the results into one simple spreadsheet.
Plan for changes of tack in advance
If you have time you can prepare for the different possible directions that the lecture or tutorial could go based on the possible answer options. The Conditional Branching Wizard helps presenters to tailor the direction of the lecture based on student feedback.
Individual analysis or complete anonymity – the choice is yours
The TurningPoint participant lists allow you to analyse and assess individual students during tests or training sessions, but the option of completely anonymous answering can result in more honest feedback.
TurningPoint demographics help you track group performance
TurningPoint participants can be assigned to any group description of your choice. For example, if you want to compare performance between men and women or different seminar groups, you can do so with minimal preparation.
TurningPoint Participant monitor
Our new participant monitor gives lecturers real time access to student performance during the lecture or seminar. Lecturers wanting to segment the groups or to monitor individual students can do so instantly and discreetly.
Spontaneous questions allow you to work on the fly
As lessons progress many lecturers may want to divert from their original planned content. The flexibility of TurningPoint lets you add a new slide on the fly and follow the new route without any hassle.
TurningPoint reports
A TurningPoint report can be generated with a double mouse click following a tutorial. Reports feature legends on pie charts, data points, and include formatting of fonts and cells to make everything easier to read.
Works with or without a whiteboard
TurningPoint works with all brands of interactive whiteboard, without having to pay extra license fees, which means anyone can use it. The software can also be installed away from the classroom so you can even plan your lessons at home on a laptop.
vPad
TurningPoint’s unique vPad software can be used on schools’ existing computers and PDAs so no specialist response devices are necessary.
