Classroom Response Systems

School of Medicine students use Turning Point (now, PointSolutions) audience response system during lectures and group discussions to encourage audience participation and to receive feedback.

For future use

When faculty open a poll they will post or announce the Session ID so that you can respond to the poll using a browser at ttpoll.com

Although mobile apps are available, most students find that they are NOT beneficial and prefer to use their web browser.

When used in the classroom, know that you likely have a Med Ed Technology staff member in the room to help with technical issues. Otherwise email mededweb@virginia.edu with Turning Point issues.
