We are happy to announce that TurningPoint Cloud is now available!  TurningPoint Cloud has been deployed to all lab and classroom machines and is ready for the upcoming fall semester.  Turning Point 5 is currently also on the machines, but will be removed on Monday, August 22nd.

Some important items to take note of:

• Student Licensing Changes.  With TurningPoint Cloud, the student clicker device licensing model has changed.  Beginning in the Fall 2016 semester, all students will need a license to use the Turning Point Cloud software.  All new clickers ResponseCard devices being sold at the bookstore will include a 1 year license with the device.  After that 1 year, students will need to purchase an additional license to continue using their physical ResponseCard Device.  Unlicensed users will not be able to use their ResponseCard with Turning Point.
• Direct integration with Desire2Learn (D2L).  Device registration is done right in D2L, and you can easily pull the device roster list into Turning Point, and also easily push grades back up to Desire2Learn.
• Net-ID Integration.  Instructors and Students will be able to login with their UW-W Net-ID and password.
• BYOD.  Turning Point Cloud enables students to turn their own device into a clicker by purchasing a license to use phone applications, or directly via a website.
• Enhanced Reporting Tools.  The new interface includes some additional analysis and management tools to get the most out of your polling results.
• Training and Support.  The LTC is here to offer basic training and support, but the vendor is also available to schedule ad-hoc training’s and offer support as needed.
