Interactive Presentations

TurningPoint® transforms Microsoft PowerPoint® into a powerful tool for creating interactive presentations that engage audiences in active participation. Presenters can display questions, surveys, opinion polls and interactive games that allow every participant to select a response via their wireless ResponseCard® keypads and transmit the data immediately to the interactive presentation. Develop interactive meetings, seminars and presentations via TurningPoint's audience response system.

Whether you are developing a new PowerPoint presentation or editing an existing one, all of the interactive presentation functionality of TurningPoint is readily available within PowerPoint through the TurningPoint toolbar. With seamless integration into Microsoft PowerPoint, there is no need to use any other application besides MS Office® to create compelling interactive presentations. The TurningPoint toolbar enables users to move between Microsoft applications generating reports in Excel®, or paper based tests and guides in Word®.
