RESPONSEWARE WEB USER GUIDE

ResponseWare turns a participant's web-enabled mobile device, tablet or computer into a virtual clicker. Participants are able
to respond to polling questions through a Wi-Fi or data connection.

ResponseWare allows the user to respond to multiple styles of questions, such as: multiple-choice, alphanumeric, multiple
response and essay questions. Questions and answer choices are displayed on the web-enabled device while polling is open.
ResponseWare is compatible with TurningPoint 5 and TurningPoint Cloud.

ResponseWare and Turning Account

A Turning Account may be required to use ResponseWare. A Turning Account is a free account that provides a unique
identifier for each user and can be tied to all response devices, including ResponseWare. Instructors and classrooms using
TurningPoint Cloud will require a Turning Account License to register response devices for courses and to receive credit in
class. The Turning Account License is available for purchase from the Turning Technologies Student Store.

WARNING

If the presenter is using TurningPoint Cloud, a Turning Account license is mandatory. If you do not
purchase a Turning Account license, your score will show as an asterisk in all TurningPoint Cloud
participant reports. Furthermore, your score will export as "0" to an Excel workbook and will not be
exported to an LMS.

NOTE

A Turning Account license may also be required to be able to respond to questions from TurningPoint 5
and TurningPoint Cloud.

For more information about creating and managing a Turning Account, see the Turning Account User Guide from the Turning
Technologies website.
