Electronic Voting Systems
TurningPoint
TurningPoint is available for both PC and Mac - although they do behave slightly differently. The officially supported versions of the software that are tested to ensure they work with UCL infrastructure are available here:
...
- Avoid using the countdown timer - it starts as soon as you land on the question page
- The placement of the USB ports on a Mac laptop do not have space to fit the TurningPoint receiver alongside the VGA output cable - it is too wide. You will need a USB extension lead if you are using your own Mac laptop for presenting your TurningPoint slides. UCL Lecture Theatres with the voting handsets installed have a TurningPoint dongle attached to an extension lead for you to use in these theatres.
See: UCL's electronic voting system - installed in lecture theatres and available as sets that can be borrowed
