Turning Technologies TurningPoint Cloud - Manual (Page 8)

TurningPoint Cloud 8
WELCOME TO TURNINGPOINT CLOUD!
TurningPoint Cloud combines seamless polling with PowerPoint® (PowerPoint Polling), over top of any application (Anywhere
Polling), and self-paced tests, evaluations and surveys (Self-Paced Polling). Conduct real-time assessments to track progress
(Results Manager) and instantly view results and collect valuable data all from one easy-to-use application.
TurningPoint Cloud provides cloud management of users and participant lists while effortlessly integrating with other
organization-adopted solutions to accelerate learner success. Currently, cloud management is computer-specific, however
development is rapidly expanding to build parity and syncing between the desktop and the cloud.
Both instructors and participants are required to have a Turning Account, which provides a unique identifier for each user that is
tied to all software accounts and response devices. In addition to the Turning Account, participants are required to have a
Turning Account license and may also be required to have a ResponseWare Presentation license.
IMPORTANT
A Turning Account license is mandatory for each participant. If a participant does not purchase a Turning
Account license, his or her score will show as an asterisk in all TurningPoint Cloud participant reports.
Furthermore, his or her score will export as "0" to an Excel workbook and will not be exported to an LMS.
