TurningPoint Testimonials

“I have used the TurningPoint ARS as an interactive tool for teaching the in the post-graduate medical areas and currently for the Medical course. The value for the student is the interactive nature, the immediate feedback and the ability to assess their knowledge with that of their peers. The lecturer is able to cover a wide range of topics over a short period of time, evaluate the results of individual students, identify specific target groups within the responses and have immediate results. The system is ideal for both formative and summative assessment of knowledge.”

Vivienne O’Connor, Senior Lecturer, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, University of Queensland, April 2004.

“The TurningPoint ARS has provided our school with an easy and effective way of doing diagnostic testing and also of quickly evaluating student and staff opinion. We have also used TurningPoint ARS for ‘technology trivia’ nights, and in professional development exercises. The system is not difficult to use, and is easily learned by even ‘non-techno’ teachers. TurningPoint ARS eliminates the time-consuming collation of surveys and provides a raft of information from each evaluation exercise.”

Paul Staples, Principal, Pioneer State High School

“The system’s capability to anonymously record, analyse and immediately display students responses to set questions, express opinions and facts on sensitive issues provided a low threat environment for “student to student” and “student to lecturer” interactions and engagement in content.
Students displayed a greater willingness to be involved in discussions and an eagerness to record their responses.”
