TurningPoint ResponseCard Registration
Registration of your TurningPoint ResponseCard is done through Blackboard, at
You must be properly registered in order to receive credit for quizzes given in each lecture.
If you replace your clicker (due to loss), be sure to register the new clicker and email your lecture professor with you new clicker number. Failure to do so will result in 0 being recorded for your lecture quizzes.
Setting the channel on you ResponseCard
The channel number for all lecture sections (A1, A2, A3 and B1) is 42. To set the channel on your ResponseCard, do the following.
- press "Ch" on the clicker
- enter the RF receiver channel number 41
- press "Ch" one more time
What the LED color on your ResponseCard means
- Green: Confirmation that the your response has been received
- Orange: The ResponseCard is sending and waiting for confirmation from the receiver
- Red: Response not received
- Green and Red: In Channel Changing mode
Having trouble?
- Are you on the right channel (see above)?
- Are you registered with the correct serial number (the six characters below the bar code on the back of your ResponseCard). You can re-register at http://bit.ly/dXNKx3.
- Are you in the right section? CH101 A1 is 9 am, CH101 A2 is 11 am and CH101 A3 is 5 pm.
