PointSolutions Web

What is it and how does it work?

Interested in using PointSolutions for polling but want something lighter than its comprehensive PowerPoint integration? Enter PointSolutions Web, the new browser based solution from Echo360 that delivers a simple and stripped down interface to get you up and running in minutes.

Of particular note is its 'Scheduled Polling' functionality which allows you to create and run asynchronous quizzes with your students - perfect for a blended learning approach where we can't always be in the same place at the same time.‌

How do I get access?

If you already use the regular desktop software then you're good to go - that one account covers you for everything. If you're new to PointSolutions then you'll need to Request an Account.

Once you're setup you'll find your PointSolutions Web dashboard waiting for you at: https://instructor.turningtechnologies.eu

What about support guides and training?

PointSolutions have their own indepth support documentation which is always worth a look, but to start with you might want to check out this handy crib sheet that lists the necessary steps to create content, run a session and access your results in PS Web. Please note: the crib sheet contains links to instructor.turningtechnologies.com. We work on the .eu domain however, not .com. Always go to .eu!

If you'd like a little training then why not sign up to one of our scheduled sessions or contact the Humanities eLearning Team to arrange a one-to-one demonstration. Alternatively, PointSolutions have created a series of helpful videos that you're welcome to browse.
