TurningPoint

Audience Response System

TurningPoint is a fully interactive audience response system. Designed to use with PowerPoint, TurningPoint enables two-way communication between a speaker and a large group. TurningPoint offers the ability to collect, evaluate, and record responses from everyone in the audience, transforming a lecture, workshop, or meeting into a more effective learning environment for everyone in the room. By engaging each participant, TurningPoint creates a unique session every time, recording response data that can be used immediately or later for grading, polling, and demographic research.

Running Presentation
	Setting up the Response Devices Your audience responds to your interactive presentation using a response device. For more information on various types of response devices and instructions on setting them up, visit this link. PDF Creating Participant List and Tracking Participants Participant Lists identify the members of your audience— your students, your trainees, your survey respondents— who will use a response device to respond to questions during your presentation. The participant name and other required information are stored along with information about their assigned device, which is identified by number (for example, 1, 2, 3, and so on) and by device ID. PDF Running a Presentation Session Each time you run a presentation, TurningPoint creates a unique session. A session is made up of data pertaining to the response devices, the participants in the audience, and the responses of the participants. This data typically saves to the computer that is running the presentation. PDF
Running Reports
	The TurningPoint Report Wizard allows you to view, export, and print a wide variety of reports based on the responses you received during a presentation session. The reports are Word or Excel files with information about the questions and answers, participants, and responses gathered in your presentation. Nineteen reports are available for reporting on the entire audience, by individual participants, by groups, by standards, and on the basis of demographics. If you have specified correct answers or point values, you can “grade” participants and groups, verify that standards are met, and provide valuable feedback to participants. PDF
