Downloading the new software

You can download TurningPoint version 8 from the ISD Software database: http://swdb.ucl.ac.uk/package/view/id/410 (UCL staff login required), or from directly from the TurningPoint website: https://www.turningtechnologies.com/downloads (form to fill out).

Using the new software

The new version of Turning Point is very similar in many way to previous versions, used from inside PowerPoint. As before, please make sure that you open Turning Point from the desktop or the start menu, noting that the icon has changed. Make sure the receiver is plugged in before you start the software to get the full range of options below listed. 

A pop-up will then appear - please pick the 'Create Content Offline' option.

· Content created with older versions WILL WORK with TP v.8, but once used in the new version, you will not be able to edit the slides with old version of the software.

· If you are using your own laptop to present, please ensure you have the latest version of TurningPoint for use with the new receiver. This can be downloaded for free from On the next screen, click 'Start Now' under 'PowerPoint Polling'.
