Interactive Learning

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 software.

Microsoft Integration

Whether you are developing a new PowerPoint presentation or editing one you use in your course today, all interactive functionality is readily available within PowerPoint through the TurningPoint toolbar. With complete integration into your PowerPoint installation there is no need to use any other application besides MS Office®.

TurningPoint's export wizard assists you in your effort to move information from MS Office into other databases such as grade book software or learning management systems.
