Clickers

Photo of a clickerWith TurningPoint software you can easily create interactive PowerPoint slides that instantly gather responses from your students using clickers. You can also use Blackboard integration to export student responses into your course gradebook*. Download the documents below to learn how to use clickers in your classroom:

*IMPORTANT NOTICES: The basic interactive features of the clickers will work in any Windows smart classroom on campus, but the software currently installed on most smart classroom computers does not work with Blackboard integration. The software needs to be updated to the latest edition of TurningPoint 2006, and IT Classroom Support is working to resolve this issue.

Also, TurningPoint clickers are currently set up for use in smart classrooms with Windows computers only. NKU's hardware (the receiver units) will not work with the software on Mac computers at the present time, and IT Classroom Support is working to resolve this issue. If you use a Mac in your office, you can still create interactive PowerPoint presentations with the TurningPoint software installed on your computer, but the clickers will only work with a Windows computer, not in Mac smart classrooms.
