PointSolutions: A Real-Time Polling App for Learners
PointSolutions (formerly TurningPoint) is a web-enabled app that allows users to respond to questions in real-time and self-paced modes. Developed by Turning Technologies, this free app is designed to increase retention and engagement among learners while allowing instructors to collect data to ensure comprehension. The app is available for Android devices running version 5 and above. Users with previous OS versions can still participate in sessions by visiting ttpoll.com using a web browser.
PointSolutions offers a variety of question types, including multiple choice, multiple response, hotspot, numeric response, true/false, and short answer. When polling is closed, the screen displays group responses, user response, and the correct answer. Users can also respond to attendance prompts, view enrolled courses, and track grade data. Additionally, users can navigate through self-paced assessments in various ways, including swiping, navigation carousel, and question list view. The app also allows users to send messages to presenters to communicate questions or concerns. However, continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
Overall, PointSolutions is a useful app for learners and instructors alike, offering a range of features to ensure comprehension and engagement.
