TurningPoint

TurningPoint transforms the standard lecture PowerPoint presentation into a powerful interactive learning system that engages students in active participation. Professors can display questions, surveys, opinion polls and games that allow every student in the class to select a response via their wireless ResponseCard keypads ("clickers") and transmit the data immediately to the presentation. Track attendance, assess student learning retention, prompt student interaction, even award participation points or deliver quizzes and tests via TurningPoint's interactive learning system.
