Great for Controlled Environments
What do you like best about the product?
Echo automates the recording and delivery process. The dashboards are easy to use and their LTIs work well.
What do you dislike about the product?
The first problem is that lecture recording does not have a way to alert the speaker if their microphone is not being picked up. Without audio the recording is useless. Once a decent recording is loaded there are very minimal editing options.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Echo360 allows us to increase class size and still provide lectures to off-campus students. It also makes lecture recording and LMS delivery more feasible for faculty of all technical abilities.
Turning point
What do you like best about the product?
Easy use. Turning Point is a great piece of technology that allows instructors to quickly assess student knowledge in large classes. Very easy software to use!
What do you dislike about the product?
Cost. To be able to use this, these do come at a pretty hefty cost. I am not sure to the actual numbers, but hopefully nobody is actually buying these outright, but their workplace will consider it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
If you need to quickly assess a rather large number of students and have it be graded for you, Turning Point clickers/remotes are a great way to go. Pretty expensive but institutions should have enough cash to dish out for them.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Urge your department, school, or college to buy these because they do cost a ton.
Participant Engagement Solution
What do you like best about the product?
The live analytics for presentations and participant engagement and record maintenance.
What do you dislike about the product?
The number of steps required for set up is tedious but for integrations purposes its good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The higher Education problem solver for all of our requirements.
It's great when it works
What do you like best about the product?
It's very easy to make polling slides on PC or Mac. My clients like the keypads vs attendees using their phones.
What do you dislike about the product?
I found that TP doesn't always function correctly depending on the type of PowerPoint update. TP will work great, but after a small Microsoft update to PowerPoint, TP will not display graphs correctly, or the clock animation doesn't work. I use rental laptops, so I don't have control over the version of PowerPoint updates. MOST of the time, the system works.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It gets the audience engaged, and the system also provides feedback (via evaluations) on presenters. I know who is being impactful and relevant. It creates a better experience for the attendees, which is the ultimate goal.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Be mindful of PowerPoint updates
Good, but has gotten more expensive
What do you like best about the product?
We used Turning Point for years, but recently switched to iClicker (formerly called Reef Polling). I liked the straightforward usability of Turning Point. Before smartphones became ubiquitous, their physical clickers were reliable and cheap. I liked the ability to integrate with our learning management system automatically.
What do you dislike about the product?
Like many companies Turning Point has moved away from sales and toward leasing a license for their product. The cost for this license became too high for our students and we were forced to change over to Reef Polling, now called iClicker.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used Turning Point to keep attendance, maintain student interest in large lectures, and easily score in-class quizzes. I mainly used the multiple choice option, but did occasionally use some of the more exotic options for answers.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Explore all the options. There may be something better that works for you at your price point.
Turning Point is a great anonymous survey tool
What do you like best about the product?
I like that the clickers can be used in meetings without having to identify participants.
What do you dislike about the product?
With the newest version, the clickers each need to be licensed, and the license only lasts a year. Otherwise, you cannot collect and analyze the responses in certain ways (i.e. per user).
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use the TurningPoint system to survey clientele during meetings.
Turning Point in Large Lecture Classes
What do you like best about the product?
Self-paced polling for exams and quizzes.
What do you dislike about the product?
Integrations of responseware for phones.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to do attendance, quizzes, and tests more efficiently, saving me time grading 90 of anything. I can use polling everyday in the classroom. It is an invaluable resource.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I recommend this for all educators in large lecture classes for reading quizzes, exams, and polling for reading.
It was alrigh
What do you like best about the product?
I like the simple concept of this system- when you are running it in "Anywhere Polling" mode .This is my preferred mode for conferences as no links or additional program is necessary. Therefore when your presenter shows up 10 minutes before their lecture and has made 20 changes, it is no problem at all.
What do you dislike about the product?
I disliked the price point, but it isnt bad considering the price of other competitors.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are trying to make it as easy as possible for work to function as intended. That includes presenters having a very easy time to make changes to their work.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
If you like easy products that are not hard to learn. This one is it!
I would create Microsoft PowerPoint Slides using TurningPoint for professors to use in their classes
What do you like best about the product?
I think it's a great way to make learning, (especially review), interactive for students in the classroom.
What do you dislike about the product?
It can be a little finicky when you are opening it and PowerPoint. you have to make sure you do it in a certain order, otherwise you're slides won't work.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I think it is a great took to keep students engaged in the classroom. I wish that, as a student, I had the opportunity to use it.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
As a teacher or as a speaker wanting to engage with your audience, this is a great tool.
