TurningPoint Toolbar Example

TurningPoint adds this simple toolbar to your PowerPoint application. All of the functionality that you need to run an interactive TurningPoint session can be accessed directly from this toolbar.

Build Participant Lists

Gather responses anonymously or use a TurningPoint participant list. TurningPoint uses formatted Excel® documents to create, store and manage participant lists to track response data gathered during the session.

Participant Monitor

With the TurningPoint Participant Monitor, presenters can instantly see how their group is responding to their questions. Drill down into a single participant to see how they have responded to each question and how they compare to the overall group. The TurningPoint Participant Monitor will also let the presenter know which participants have answered questions that were assigned correct/incorrect answer values by using green fonts when displaying correct responses and red for incorrect responses.

Present the response data to your audience

• Horizontal Bar
• Vertical Bar
• 3D Pie
• Distributed Pie
• Offset

TurningPoint's chart options provide a wide variety of options for presenting response results to an audience. In addition, on-the-fly review and data comparison charts can be displayed at any time.

Enhance decision making capabilities with the "Ranking Wizard"

• Vertical Ranking Chart
• XY Ranking Chart
• XYZ Ranking Chart

TurningPoint has now included enhanced decision making capabilities through the TurningPoint "Ranking Wizard". The "Ranking Wizard" allows you to easily create "lists" of items, issues, priorities or goals and rank them against up to three specific "criteria". These lists can be ranked against a static scale (1 - 10) or against each other using a "paired comparison" approach.

Compare slides allow to display side-by-side results

• Compare Slide

TurningPoint's compare slide lets you pose a question to your audience and later pose the same question automatically displaying a side-by-side comparison of the results. If you select the Stacked Bar Comparison you can see the percentage of the group that changed their answer from the first time the question was polled. The first stack represents the results of the currently polled question, the second stack represents the results of the question it is being compared against, and the third stack represents the percentage of the group that changed their answer.

Picture slides allow you to use objects linked to response choices

• Picture Slide 1
• Picture Slide 2

With TurningPoint, you can create an interactive PowerPoint slide where graphical or equation "objects" are linked to response choices. Participants can choose an answer by selecting the number next to the appropriate graphic. For math courses, the same process can be used to include Microsoft Equation Editor® objects. The automated process to link objects to response choices is quick and easy.

Response reminders remind the audience to respond

• Answer Now Reminder
• Countdown Reminder

Response Reminders identify the slide as an interactive slide, remind the audience to respond with their keypads, and display specific response information related to the currently displayed slide. Above are the different types of response reminders that are available in interactive PowerPoint presentations that utilize TurningPoint. Click on a reminder for a close-up view.

Turn your presentation into a competitive game!

• Pick your Team!
• The Winners Are!

Turn your interactive PowerPoint presentation into a spirited team and/or individual competitive game with TurningPoint's competition options.

TurningPoint will allow you to assign points to correct answers on individual slides and track those points by individual participant and keypad. Optionally, you can also assign participants to up to 20 teams and track and display accumulated team scores as well.

View session results to generate reports

• Session Data Screen
• Report Wizard

Use TurningPoint Reports to view and print the results of your data from your interactive audience session. View results in the PowerPoint presentation or using Microsoft Word® and Excel®
