Classroom clickers move to the cloud

Coming this fall to a classroom near you: TurningPoint Cloud. What will this change mean for Miami faculty and students?

• Simple, easy-to-use accounts will be available.
• Enhanced login and file encryption will provide more robust security for data transmitted.
• All of the features being used now, and several new ones, will be available.
• These changes are minor and should be pretty easy to navigate.

The classroom services group is planning the rollout of this new version of TurningPoint at Miami, and they know that change can be difficult, even overwhelming. Here are some of the efforts to make the transition as smooth as possible:

• Instructor-led, online classes for polling in PowerPoint provide a good refresher and a look at some of the new features. Registration for this and other Turning classes is available at: https://www.turningtechnologies.com/support/turningpoint-cloud/online-classes/educators
• Contact the classroom services group to get answers to your questions. You can email ITHelp@MiamiOH.edu or call (513) 529-7900 to talk to a support professional.

As fall approaches, watch myMiami, Canvas and other university news outlets for more specifics, including a schedule of on-campus face-to-face sessions to introduce TurningPoint Cloud.
