We will upgrade the clicker software to its latest version, TurningPoint 5, in Fall 2013.

The clicker software we are using currently includes four separate programs: TurningPoint 2008, TurningPoint Anywhere, TurningKey, and ResultsManager. TurningPoint 5 consolidates these four programs into one, simple interface and encompasses their functionality. There are a few things that we would like you to know about this upgrade:

1. No hardware replacement is required. TurningPoint 5 is compatible with the receiver you use. It is also compatible with the clicker (ResponseCard NXT) and web-based clicker (ResponseWare) that students have been using.
2. Clicker registration for students in T-Square will remain the same. As a reminder, you still need to add the Clickers tool to your course site in T-Square before your students can register their device.
3. Reusing course materials: course materials created previously in TurningPoint 2008, TurningPoint Anywhere, and TurningKey can be used in TurningPoint 5.
4. Software installation: TurningPoint 5 will be available on OIT classroom computers, starting from Fall 2013. If you want to download it to your own computers, it is available for free download at:

1. Integration with T-Square: TurningPoint 5 will be integrated with T-Square, allowing you to connect directly from the program to T-Square for downloading participant list and uploading grades. The integration will not be implemented until Fall 2013 and it will not affect the courses taught in this summer or in previous semesters.
2. Changes to the clicker software we are currently using: TurningPoint 2008, TurningPoint Anywhere, and TurningKey will continue to be available on OIT classroom computers for Fall 2013. However, they will not be integrated with T-Square any more. There will be no direct connection between these programs and T-Square. Downloading participant list and uploading grades will have to be done through exporting and importing manually.
