Sessions

Basic (1/2 hour)

If you can’t spare an hour, join this new Basic training and learn just enough to get started. This training session explains how to add TurningPoint to your presentations. This includes setting up the hardware, how to create a basic slide, how to create a Participant List, a short introduction to the Show Bar, and how to save the information you’ve gathered.

Intermediate (1 hour)

Intermediate reiterates most of what you learn in Basic plus a lot more. It’ll explain what TurningPoint is and the files it produces, how to run the device wizard, how to create slides, how to include correct answers, all response reminders, changing chart color and other display settings, steps to follow before you launch your presentation, using our Show Bar in a slideshow, producing reports…basically everything you need to know to run a successful TurningPoint presentation, including saving and viewing reports on the information you gather. This session does not cover setting up the hardware.

Advanced (1 hour)

Advanced training is an introduction to the display settings and the features found on the "Tools" menu on the TurningPoint toolbar. This session will cover data slicing, standards, comparative links, and the parser--plus a more in depth look at the display settings. Any additional time will be open for questions.
