Turning Transforms ARS With Highly Portable New ResponseCard® AnyWhere™

Handheld Receiver Allow Consultants, Educators and Meeting Facilitators to Gather Participant Feedback Instantly through Interactive Polling; New System Requires No Projector or Computer

Unlike other systems in Turning Technologies’ TurningPoint® audience response line, ResponseCard AnyWhere does not require a projector or computer or even electrical outlets to operate—lowering the investment costs related to implementation of response technology and opening up the assessment and feedback benefits to nearly any educational and professional environment.

Dr. Ray Beiersdorfer from Youngstown State University, an early beta tester commented, “ResponseCard AnyWhere eliminated a distraction of a projector system." He continued, "I was able to ‘check in’ with the students often and saw a great reaction for the students to give honest answers."

Karen Grimes, Columbiana County Career and Technical Center, summarized her experience with a ResponseCard AnyWhere system as "not intimidating like other new technology."

This easy-to-use system allows for polling with the press of a button. A presenter or educator only needs to ask a question of the group and press one button on the ResponseCard AnyWhere receiver to open polling. Participants respond to the question via ResponseCard RF keypads. The handheld receiver tabulates and displays the results via the LCD screen as soon as the user closes polling.

“By including an LCD screen on each receiver, ResponseCard AnyWhere becomes not only more portable and more flexible than existing projector-based systems, but also more discreet,” said Mike Broderick, CEO of Turning Technologies LLC. "In many respects, ResponseCard AnyWhere is our most powerful response system yet.”

Responses to multiple questions and sessions can be wirelessly stored in each ResponseCard AnyWhere receiver. If desired, results can also be downloaded via a USB cable to a PC for reporting purposes using ResponseCard AnyWhere Desktop software.
