Instructors can use Anywhere Polling in TurningPoint to poll without using PowerPoint. You can either come up with a list of questions on the fly or prepare a Question List ahead of time. If you have your list of questions prepared the questions will appear when you open and close polling.
If there is trouble locating a session file in TurningPoint Cloud, there are a few quick things to check to see if it was saved after the class session.
Sometimes you will see that PowerPoint Polling has been disabled on the TurningPoint Dashboard. The cause of this could be one of several reasons.
The Response Grid is an option that displays a chart of all students in the class. As the students answer, their name changes color if their registration is correct. If their clicker isn’t properly registered to their name, then just the device ID will appear.
Instructors using TurningPoint Cloud can save time by setting up the preferences in the software to reflect their preferred teaching methods.
Instructors can compare the student responses from two different question slides. For instance, if you ask them a question at the beginning of the session and don’t provide them with the correct answer, lecture about the subject, and ask the question again. It can provide you with an idea of how effectively students understood the topic.
