Audience Response System / TurningPoint

The TurningPoint audience response system allows students to participate in Microsoft PowerPoint presentation lectures by submitting responses to interactive questions using a ResponseCard keypad.

The library currently has 150 response cards and 2 recievers for Health Sciences education. The TurningPoint software is free.

We can help! Contact the library staff for assistance with:

Downloading and installing TurningPoint software to your computer.
Point-of-need instruction on creating slides and using TurningPoint in your class.
Reserving the audience response cards (clickers) and the receiver for the dates and time needed.
Contact Julie Quilter or Mary McFarland at 801-581-5534 or email reference@lib.med.utah.edu

Or do it yourself:

You do not need the receiver and response cards to begin creating or editing your TurningPoint slides - only to test or present your interactive TurningPoint presentation.
