We are pleased to announce the release of TurningPoint Cloud for the Higher Education market.

Once an instructor has created a Turning Account and logged in via the web once (to initialize passwords), internet is no longer required for future sign ins to run software.  Once signed in, TurningPoint Cloud offers the same, three polling environments and familiar dashboard introduced in TurningPoint 5.  New features have been added to TurningPoint Cloud while maintaining the core functionality of TurningPoint 5.
 
New Features Include:
  • Secure Login/Accounts
  • Encrypted Data (Participant Lists and Results)
  • Streamlined Registration Process 
  • LTI Connection/LMS Integrations
