JoinIn

Turn your lectures into an interactive learning environment that promotes conceptual understanding

Available exclusively for higher education from our partnership with Turning Technologies, JoinIn™ is the easiest way to turn your lecture hall into a personal, fully interactive experience for your students! JoinIn on TurningPoint is simply the easiest, most powerful, completely interactive Microsoft® PowerPoint® tool available today. By using JoinIn, you can pose text-specific questions to a large group, gather results, and display students’ answers seamlessly within the PowerPoint slides of your own lecture—in conjunction with the “clicker” hardware of your choice. JoinIn is now being used at many universities across the U.S., including Notre Dame University, Columbia Medical School, and Ohio State University.

Enhance how your students interact with you, your lecture, and each other
JoinIn gives you the ability to reach out to all of your students—even in 400- to 800-seat lecture halls—because they become actively engaged in the learning experience. Whether they are involved in confidential peer reviews or polls or group activities or are taking part in question-and-answer sessions, quizzes, or tests, students become active participants rather than passive recipients of lecture content.

A time-saving way to get perspective on your course!
JoinIn also saves you time with its ability to instantly generate pre-formatted Excel spreadsheets of student results that can be combined easily with WebCT, Blackboard, or iLrn™ grade reports. Plus, the data you collect will help you help your students—it allows you to validate your connection to your students and assess where real learning is taking place. You can see the percentage of the class that has answered a question correctly or incorrectly. This tells you if a sufficient amount of the class understands the material before moving on.

Text-specific content that involves students in the lecture
Quick Quiz questions from our key Introductory Statistics texts are included in the program, providing you with the opportunity to quickly test students’ basic understanding of statistical concepts and principles. Each Quick Quiz is cast in an objective format, including multiple choice and true/false.

Hundreds of questions, in some cases written by the authors like Roxy Peck, are included in the program, allowing you to quickly assess students’ understanding of core ideas. JoinIn on Turning Point content is ideal for initiating classroom discussions.
