ResponseWare mobile clicker solution allows participants to use any web-enabled device to respond using a Wi-Fi or data connection.

ResponseWare

ResponseWare - the revolutionary response system for mobile devices - turns a participant's web-enabled mobile device into a virtual ResponseCard. ResponseWare allows students and participants to respond using a Wi-Fi or data connection.

Turning's mobile response solution allows alphanumeric entry via a cell phone style input or a QWERTY style keyboard. ResponseWare allows the user to respond to multiple styles of questions, such as: multiple-choice, alphanumeric, multiple response and even essay questions. The diversity of response types increases communication options and allows users to easily submit questions electronically during an interactive polling session to the presenter. ResponseWare also displays the question and answer choices on the device while polling and is compatible with TurningPoint assessment software.

The difference in a network that can support ResponseWare and a typical Wi-Fi network is that in typical use, all 100 devices are not in the same location or using the network at the exact same time.)
