TurningPoint
TurningPoint is a interactive polling software that allows instructors to ask questions, track participant progress and receive instant feedback. When presented with a question, the student presses a button on a mobile app or a "clicker" device.
TurningPoint Desktop
PowerPoint Polling allows you to integrate clicker question slides directly into your Microsoft PowerPoint presentations. This is the most commonly used feature amongst faculty using TurningPoint software.
Anywhere Polling allows you to poll over top of web pages, videos, documents or any application using a floating toolbar.
Self-Paced Polling allows you to deliver assessments, evaluations and surveys that a require students to work at their own pace.
TurningPoint Web
Automatically save and manage results online with the web-based polling system. Poll on the web, through a PowerPoint integration, and schedule surveys and assessments.
