Clickers and TurningPoint mobile are the two options for students to respond to interactive and polling questions. Both options require students create a Turning Technologies account and purchase a subscription for use.
Check with your instructor for the recommended response device to be used for your class.
Clickers are hardware devices that allow students to participate in presentations or lectures by submitting responses to questions via a keypad.
All classrooms have a different channel that must be entered into your clicker to properly respond. Generally speaking, the channel is the last numbers of classroom.
In order to use your clicker to input an answer, polling must be open on the presentation slide. The status bar at the top of the presentation will reflect when polling is open (a green box will appear with the words Polling Open) and when it is closed (a red box will appear with the words Polling Closed). Press the key that corresponds to your answer on the slide when polling is open.
A check mark is displayed on your device along with your answer if your answer was received properly. You may change your answer as long as polling remains open by pressing an alternate answer. Once polling closes you may not change your answer. Not accepting answers will be displayed on your device.
TurningPoint mobile allows students to respond to interactive questions. Students are able to respond to polling questions using a Wi-Fi or data connection. TurningPoint can be used via a web browser or an app available for Android and iOS devices.
