What is TurningPoint?

TurningPoint is an add-in to PowerPoint. New presentations can be created in TurningPoint or existing PowerPoint presentations can be used by simply adding in new ARS slides. On those new slides, multiple choice items are created in which an audience can respond to and have their results displayed in real-time.
