  • TurningPoint 2008
  • TurningPoint AnyWhere
  • TurningKey

All legacy applications will be available to download from our website until February 15, 2015. However, Turning Technologies will continue to offer support for these products until August 15th, 2015.
 
As of August, 2014, TurningPoint 5 is currently translated into French, German and Spanish.  All language versions not available in TurningPoint 5 will continue to be supported in TurningPoint 2008 until the translated versions have been released.
 
Turning Technologies feels that the continued development and support of the company’s latest releases, TurningPoint Cloud and TurningPoint v5.3.1, offers advanced features in order to meet customer needs.  Both current TurningPoint versions include a dashboard interface that gives users the ability to easily access functionality found in the above legacy applications.  The dashboard provides instant management of polling, participants, content, sessions and reports to consolidate the multiple products into one software application for an enhanced user experience.
 
Turning Technologies believes the resources required to maintain the legacy applications can be better allocated to enhance existing and develop new products that better fulfill market needs.

Turning Technologies is announcing the discontinuation of student device registration sites that supported TurningPoint 2008:

Turning Technologies feels that the continued development and support of the Turning Account system will streamline the registration process for students and provide simplified class management for instructors.  Turning Accounts are available for both instructors and students.  Each account provides a unique identifier for the user and can be tied to TurningPoint Cloud software, response devices and web applications, including ResponseWare 2.0.  Turning Accounts are free for instructors.  Students must purchase a Turning Account license to use in TurningPoint Cloud classrooms.
 
If campuses are standardized on TurningPoint Cloud, instructors and students using LMS platforms are encouraged to check their portals to access the Turning Account integration link.  Non-LMS users can sign-up for Turning Accounts at account.turningtechnologies.com. 
 
Turning Technologies believes the resources required to maintain the legacy registration sites can be better allocated to enhance the existing Turning Account server and additional features that better fulfill market needs.
