…..aka PRS, voting systems
As some of you know, we’ve recently taken delivery of quite a few of these and several staff are using them actively. Just a couple of pointers to avoid disappointment or embarrassment in front of a class:
1. Check before you use a lecture room whether Turning Point is installed – the University menu install option does not work on quite a few machines, so either use the supplied CD (inside the boxes) or install it from our supplier’s website:
N.B. You will need to register to do this but your details will not be passed on.
2. Some features such as 3D charts are only available with the latest version of Turning Point and this may well not be the version installed in the lecture room. So either check in advance or avoid using 3D charts – the standard charts are just as effective.
