Send us your 'Shameless Plug' and win cakes!

We know you love TurningPoint. We know you use it in all sorts of unintended ways, above and beyond training or assessment. We know these things because you tell us all the time. Now we want you to do us a favour.

Be bold. Tell the world. Share your TurningPoint story. We're not proud - we're asking you to plug this wonderful product for us because we reckon you'll do a better job than we could ever dream of.

Of course there is something in it for you. Get your entry in by 15th March and as long as it's up to scratch we'll send you a box of cakes and some teabags to go with them. 

How do I take part?

One of the more powerful ways in which TurningPoint can help you is through something called 'demographics'. This lets you track how different types of people within your session responded.

People just like you are using demographics for everything from tracking ability groups within mixed-ability classes, to analysing departments in company meetings.

This tutorial will show you how to set up demographics in your own presentation and open up a new world of knowing what's going on. And since the tutorial is less than 90 seconds long it'll be quicker than making a cup of tea!
