Run a Presentation
Run a Presentation
You run an interactive presentation session using PowerPoint’s Slide Show functionality.
You control the presentation session by opening and closing polling. Polling is the mechanism by which
TurningPoint accepts and tallies the responses provided by the audience using response devices.
This section describes how to:
• Establish the Presentation Settings
• Run the Slide Show
• View a Response Grid
• Use the Participant Monitor
• Add Slides During a Presentation Session
• Use Data Slicing (View Results by Question)
Establish the Presentation Settings
The presentation settings consist of the results data and Participant List to be used, which are important
items to check before running the presentation.
Prior to starting a presentation session, you must perform the following steps:
• Clear any previous session results.
• Identify the Participant List to be used.
This section explains how to perform these steps. It also demonstrates how to create the settings for the
Response Grid, an option helpful for sessions with infrared ResponseCards that gives participants
confirmation that their responses were received.
Before You Begin
You must set up the Response Devices before you begin. Find information on getting the response
devices ready in Chapter 4: Response Device and Settings Management.
