RemotePoll™

Poll students and business associates from remote locations. No longer be confined to a single area. Extend your TurningPoint enhanced classrooms and meetings across cities, states and even countries.

RemotePoll extends TurningPoint 2008 functionality to allow a presenter to poll audiences in multiple remote locations and immediately display the results in conjunction with those of the hosting site. RemotePoll provides instantaneous feedback for the presenter and helps keep the remote audience engaged by displaying their input.

Students and participants in remote locations now have an easy to use, non-intimidating means of answering questions during video conferences or satellite broadcasts. No longer rely on individuals to stand up in front of a camera, speak into a mic, and present their answer. Gather feedback and gauge understanding from multiple locations with the power of student/audience response technology. Instructors and presenters can quickly assess understanding and gather data in a way that is more approachable for students and participants.
