What is TurningPoint ARS?

TurningPoint is Keepad Interactive's best-of-breed choice of Audience Response Systems. The TurningPoint ARS system is an integral part of the Teach, Assess, Poll focus. TurningPoint ARS allows full interactivity, engaging each and every audience member by giving them a voice in the form of a credit card size keypad which is used for responding to polling questions, all of which are created and operated through Microsoft PowerPointTM. Responses are collated and can be displayed during a presentation in real-time, or results can be withheld for later reporting.

Through the use of TurningPoint ARS users can;

• Track student learning
• Increase student alertness
• Obtain instant feedback
• Give every participant an equal voice
• Negate vocal minority
• Establish levels of understanding
• Promote discussion
• Monitor changes in opinion level
• Collect and analyse data

How does it work?

Audience Response Systems enable a speaker, whether in a classroom, lecture hall or boardroom, to receive instantaneous feedback from their audience.

Typically, this takes the form of a question displayed on a screen with a selection of multiple choice answers from which each group member selects their response using an individual keypad.

A basic version of this technology has become commonplace on television game shows and should be familiar to most people.

Today, events with thousands of participants can use Interactive Group Systems.

The collective results can be immediately displayed on a projected screen to show the winner of a contest, an average rating from the group or split of preferences among the group, whilst all results are automatically saved for later review.
